No, radio is much less intrusive -- more of a cool medium as Marshall McLuhan would say. TV is much more hypnotic.

So long as you are doing things in the home -- not watching - it will be less of a problem.

Even so -- you are conducting an experiment with your own brain -- with no control over the experiment. You are the mouse.
