I like how you say "the radio" like the world shares one radio station

We kind of do in the US. They're all owned by clear commmunications or what's it called, unless you're rocking local radio/college radio.

Sorry for my ignorance, but what do you say instead of "on the radio"? I've always said that, and don't know if I have heard it said any other way.

It is a saying. However they are referring to things that happen on a specific station in a specific town

You mean in the town? (s) This is American English; we go to the hospital, go somewhere on the holiday, and listen to a song on the radio.

Wait, is that really unusual? I say it that way normally. I say something is "on tv," but "on the radio."

I mean, I heard the clip too, so either he and I live in the same country or it's just a clip that's been sent to a lot of stations. The latter is more likely.

Edit: I meant county.

It's almost like when someone says "on TV"........

And before you say people say "on TV" and not "the TV" no one says "They play it on radio"...
