Get URL that points to the radio steam. Open VLC. Use File -> Open Network Steam and paste that URL to Customize box (replace any text that is there already and press OK)

Proper URLs are direct URLs to streams, not to the webpage usually.

Proper ones:
http://81.187.30.245:8000/listen.pls
http://www.pushfm.com/streamlinks/128push.asx
