Indeed.
I think Fallout's use of the radio was the best, although part of that was because it adapted to what you did as well. If you can get the game to talk about "outbreaks of fighting in [insert hex here]" or the "tragic loss of TR's base to terrorist scum" etc. in a way that actually represents player action... that would be awesome.
I also think it shouldn't be limited to vehicles. I mean, you've got a comm system in your helmet already...
EDIT: Also, the Radio could be an interesting way to announce special events by having the organizers cut into the regularly scheduled broadcasts with in-character announcements or something similar.
