I am going to make an assumption about an assumption I think you have made!

Radio modes and TV modes are entirely separate and are used for each
programme type on offer from iPlayer.

radiomode does not set the audio quality available to a TV download.

radiomode only controls the quality of the audio when your download is
of type radio

tvmode only controls the quality of the audio and video when your
download is of type TV

Any given TV download only has one audio stream per mode.

As others have noted, the usual audio bitrate for an HD TV download is
~96kbps with the Proms programmes being somewhat of an anomaly at
~128kbps
