Default Radio draining battery

Hi all I need some advice.
We purchased a 2001 Monte Carlo ss when we bought it the radio fuse was missing we replaced the fuse and the radio worked fine but now the car battery is dead after leaving it overnight we removed the radio fuse and the battery is fine any ideas on why the radio is draining the battery
