If you're talking standard FM broadast quality, then 44khz 128k should
do it for you. About one meg per minute for stereo files, or 60 megs
per hour. The thing to consider: Is this music or talk radio? Cut
it down to mono and save half the drive space for talk radio.

The new version of broadcast signals, called HD radio, is almost CD
quality. If it's music, 44khz 320k would sound very close to the
original broadcast and use an average of 2.5 megs per minute.

I hope this helped.
