Morphology

science + Friday

The phrase is directly compositional: 'science' + 'Friday' clearly signals a Friday devoted to science or a science-focused program. While it is the proper name of a radio show, an average B1 learner who knows both words can infer the general meaning (a science-themed day/program) without prior exposure.

Etymology

Science Friday started as a weekly radio show that is on Friday and talks about science. The name gives a clear image of a regular Friday for science, so today it means 'a radio program' or 'a day' focused on science.
