Fun with Language

You never know what you might find while scanning the day's news. For instance, while reading up on today's important policy speech by President Obama, I learned the following:
Obama's remarks were televised on all radio and television stations in Israel...
Now, I'm more than willing to chalk this up to a simple miscalculation by the editor: it's basically second nature to say all stations televised the speech without considering the medium. Makes you wonder though: how precisely could a radio station televise something?
