Actually, you have made an interesting observation, and swerved into a whole area of thought that is probably foreign to many on this site.

The question presented here is akin to asking "How do I make a guitar sound like it's been through an amplifier and cabinet?"

The truth is that there are just as many ways to make a radio station sound as there are ways to make an amplified guitar sound!

If you poke around on google, you will find more protracted arguments about the finer points of how to process for radio than you will about Neve vs. API pre's.

That's the reason I recommended THIS. It actually does a pretty good job of simulating various airchains used in "Radioland" (if you know what you're doing). It's FREE, too!

Make sure you download the VST version (as shown below):
