A card isn't the best place for a radio, too many digital signals can be 
picked up.

But, thee's ntohing to stop you from buying a digitally tuned radio and 
then interfacing it to the Apple II.  Just figure out how to "press the 
buttons" via electricity rather than physical button pusshing, and you can 
get it to tune up and down the band.

I realize you could get FM radio cards for the ISA bus, and they somehow 
got cheap so perhaps they did sell, but I don't see much value in it.  My 
"compuer speakers" is a $7 garage sale stereo receiver and some decent 
speakers also bought at a garage sale, it provides the amplifier for the 
sound card, and the phono preamp for when I want to digitize records, and 
an am/fm tuner for listenign tot he radio.  I'm not sure why the radio 
needs to be in the computer.
