It needs a different tuner to decypher a radio signal, and unless it says on the box, I see no way of you picking up FM radio with it.
Software alone cannot do this.

My Mums TV has a radio, it's a button on the remote, and switches to Radio mode, it even has a separate aerial socket on the back for the radio, which indicates it's going to a different tuner.
We have a phillips TV like that here.
