I don't know what is used in radio these days but the name optimod gets mentioned often.

So, if you have any further insight, I would love to know.

Thanks again!

I realized after posting that that's what you were looking for. The speakerphone is obviously the answer to another (unasked) question :-). Some people use the Waves C1 Comp-Sidechain with a fairly aggressive high frequency tilt to get at radio processing simulation. But an Optimod is an Optimod and there's nothing else like it, but I imagine that a TC Elecronic Finalizer or MD3 or MD4 would do a pretty good job if you knew where to set it! There are many presets in the Optimod and stations often customize their own.
