Morphology
The meaning 'an organization or place that produces and broadcasts audio programs' is directly deducible from combining 'radio' (the broadcasting medium) with 'station' (a place or channel for broadcasting). This noun–noun compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common (e.g., Spanish 'estación de radio') and follows standard English modification, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will understand it.
Etymology
Radio station comes from putting radio meaning 'wireless sound' together with station meaning 'a fixed place where people work or send out messages'. So, radio station means the place or group that makes and sends out radio programs.
