No need for it here, I know where my radio is.

I do too, but no thanks to the article. The title gives you no idea what a "GNOME Internet Radio Locator" is, the text also gives you no idea what a "GNOME Internet Radio Locator" is, the linked-to release announcement also gives you no idea what a "GNOME Internet Radio Locator" is, finally the link at the bottom of that tells me it's a way of finding free radio stations on the internet. Which I have close to zero interest in.
When the admins post a slashvertising article, is it too much to ask that the article title or text actually describes what's being slashvertised?

Perhaps they updated the summary, but it seems pretty clear to me:

Sounds pretty like it does exactly what is says on the tin - maps the internet radio station broadcast locations so that they can be viewed in GNOME Maps.

to just add a radio station layer on google/bing/apple maps?

it sounds like you want to feed usage data to these spy companies instead of using openstreetmap.org, which this app uses via gnome maps.
Interresting and useful but why Gnome? (Score:1)
But most people rather search for the sort of music or information a station carries and already know the names, the geographical location is of minor interest and on the internet even less.
I use KDE's KRadio and it does all I need, installing a whole bunch of Gnome dependencies is not something I need.
