While it is true that there is no stock web browser, there are third-party browsers available from the Google Play store. It is unknown why Google chose not to include Chrome as part of Android TV - it seems like it would have been an obvious thing for them to have provided, or at least made available from their app store. I’ve briefly tried one of the other browsers that are in the store and it seemed to work ok, but I have no idea if it would be adequate for an internet radio site.
