I have no real comment on the site, but just some awesome coincidence. I'm currently on the west coast in a hotel room watching a Nebraska football game on the television. I pull this site up and it puts me in Smith County, Kansas. I turn on the radio and it pulls up the local AM radio call from Superior Nebraska of the exact same game I'm watching on TV. Awesome.

The radio part is the most interesting to me. I would be curious how this effect is achieved.

Are there APIs to trade lat/long (or zip) for radio stations’ streaming audio?

It's probably not like this but there are some streaming sites that real time stream the broad radio spectrum at various locations around the world and you can tune in a particular radio station using a radio application that just works like the real thing.
TuneIn radio?
I could not find an obvious API for it.

It appears from my cursory investigation their APIs primarily help broadcasters send data to tunein. I haven’t found any way to programmatically interact with their services as a listener.
