Default radio help!

hey guys,
I have a stock radio in my 98 cherokee, recently the radio while on has been loosing all power and doesnt stay on but the radio face will stay illuminated just not showing time or radio station on the screen. I am thinking it is a bad ground, what are your opinions and if it is a bad ground where is this ground located?
