I thought this would work - and it does! Here's how to add radio channels as Live TV:

From the Jellyfin homescreen menu, navigate to the Dashboard
Click the Dashboard menu button (three stripes at the top)
Go to Live TV
Click the first (+) button to add a new tuner device
Choose "M3U Tuner"
Select your local .m3u file or paste a URL
Click Save
Go back to the homescreen of Jellyfin
In the menu, click Live TV
Switch to the tab called Channels
If your .m3u file works, you can select any channel it contains from here.

You can even add a custom logo for each channel:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1,Channel 1 tvg-logo="https://link.to/logo-ch1.png"
http://liveradio.url.channel1.fake:8000/channel1-is-fake.mp3

#EXTINF:-1,RadiOmega tvg-logo="https://linking.park/logo-radiomega.png"
http://liveradio.nope.omegalive:8000/y/radiomega.mp3

And rank them in the list by changing -1 to positive values IIRC.
