It is not permissible to follow an Imam via radio or television, because congregational prayer is intended for gathering, and it must be in one place or with connected rows. The purpose of congregational prayer is not achieved in this manner. If it were permissible, then everyone would pray the five daily prayers and Friday prayer in their homes, and this contradicts the legality of congregational and Friday prayers.
