either because you pay for things like satellite radio, or because of the commercials they pay the station for air time

They charge for businesses to advertise on the radio station.

They most make their money from advertising revenue.
You will also find that they do co-operative promotions which the brand or company will pay for. So some of the competitions etc. that they run may actually be paid for by the company looking to push their brand.

Advertisers pay to have ads on radio.
However, if it is public radio then subscribers donate as well as the station getting grants from foundations and some public money (corporation for public broadcasting i think). from tax dollars.
btw, FCC is in charge of regulating the airwaves/frequencies.

Some of us pay for satellite radio so we don't have to listen to the shitty excuses for radio stations that people seem to be obsessed with.

From advertisements. Those commercials you hear? Companies pay for that airtime so you'll hear those ads.
