We know that doesn't really mean anything.

I do not understand the reason to use "Radio/Drama" for a TV show. It makes zero sense in any context. You could say that "Drama" is being used loosely for the genre of the television show, but that's a very very very loose context. And if you're using it that way it makes even less sense because now you have a classification that is literally two classifications in one entry. It would be tantamount to having a classification of "Anime/Game". They are two very, very different things.

If you want to get technical, Radio/Drama as a single entry classification should and should only ever mean a Radio or Drama publication, aka spoken word / dialogue. Yes, a TV show could theoretically classify as that but we're not classifying the TV show, we're classifying the album, which contains music.

The best solution here is to not use any classification until a proper one exists, whether it's "Television" or "Movie" or something else altogether.
