I hope Edison and Westinghouse are turning in their graves. They both

Did Tesla have any particular interest in radio?
Nah...he was just the inventor of radio, that's all. See below.
This Supreme Court ruling came out shortly after Tesla's death. The case
was Tesla vs Marconi (and thus m II's reference above to Marconi)...
Actually, Billy, that one was mine. 
From Wikipedia:
In 1943, the Supreme Court of the United States credited him [Tesla]
as being the inventor of the radio.
