Internet video and radio present no additional security issues, besides the inherent risks of navigating with a browser. There is nothing in the various streaming protocols that create additional worries. That being said, many organizations have policies governing the use of Internet video and radio for productivity reasons.
Many Web filtering gateways can block these applications. As an additional layer of precaution, I also recommend application control (white lists) to be integrated into the client security layer to make sure that malware can't execute if a user navigates to a bad site.
