In the following sentence, is it also grammatical if you put "through" instead of "on" in front of "the community radio stations"?

In Los Angeles, you can hear Spanglish on the community radio stations.

How is it different between "on the radio" and "through the radio"?

Thank you.

'On the radio' is the accepted collocation. 'Through' sounds odd to me, though it is certainly understandable.

Mister Micawber! Have you been on vacation? I have missed seeing your comments.

Hi, CP. No, just overextended. I see that you have it well in hand here, though.
