compression on lossless streaming? I'd be interested to hear how that would work and end up being lossy?

In case it's not clear (I can't tell), he meant dynamic compression, not data compression. AFAIU radio broadcaster use audio processors to create a "signature sound", e.g. https://www.orban.com/radio-audio-processors

 

Some time ago I captured "Luka" by Suzanne Vega played on Polish radio https://radio357.pl/ and compared it with my CD and with what Spotify streams. CD and Spotify were very similar and the radio version quite different:
