Do any of the radio mods work with FOTRS, ie Captain Midnights CBS news?

Yes, they will work, but run Captain Midnights CBS through Digital Trucker's Radio Station Manager, which can be a bother to do on today's 'modern' computer OS... I cannot recall what I did to get the desired results, but there is a decent ReadMe in the utility, if I am remembering correctly (don't count on that anymore...

), but there is at least one event out of order, date-wise in Captain Midnights radio files, and when it is encountered, it brings the game down with a CTD. The messages.txt file will just skip the out of sequence message, but not the radio by golly. Downright rude... Anyway, if I could remember the date and time, you'd be able to go in there and fix it yourself, either by deleting the event, or moving it, which is what Digital Trucker's utility does... You can add a lot of period mood to the game with radio stations.
