What do you like to be reminded for?
Ah, I'll elaborate:
Suppose it is now 18h45 and at 19h00 the News starts. I want to watch cartoon channel in the mean time, but I do not want to miss part of the news.
So I'll go to the Guide/EPG and instead of "record" I choose "set reminder".
Then I watch cartoons.
At 18h55 I get a popup "your program 'News' starts in 5 minutes" and below 2 buttons 'switch now' and 'remind me later'. I pick the second button and continue watching cartoons.
At 18h59 I get a popup "your program 'News' starts in 1 minute." and below 2 buttons 'switch now' and 'dismiss'. I pick the first one and the TV channel is switched to the News! (I suppose I can first hit the "pause" button to start recording the cartoon I was watching for after the news??? anyway, you get the idea.)
In my country all the digital TV providers have similar functionality in their propritairy Boxes and I have seen it used as in the example above.
As for Radio: I propose you could almost copy-paste the TV part: a Guide (there is EPG info on the DVB-C Radio channels and I have seen it on some EPG websites to import with WebGrab++), a Recordings area, and a function to auto play a radio channel at bootup.
I would put the Radio part under the headphone-logo dough. Seems more logical than a separate button.
