Should a description like this be in all caps.

No. The description should not be in all caps.

This isn't necessary. There is an old adage “Show. Don't tell.” Since
what is heard is radio hosts talking it might be best to just write out
what they they are saying. Don't “tell” the reader what their banter
signifies, allow your dialogue to show it.
I know it's traditional to start every screenplay with “FADE IN:” so
much so that even if there is no fade in writers do it. As a transition
a “fade in” signifies going from black to an image. The "fade out"
goes from an image to black.
