Series LC circuit powered by an AC source is actually EM radiation emitter. When the circuit is powered by a source of frequency f ' electric field in the capacitor chances f ' times per second. This produces a changing electric field. While in the inductor the magnetic field also changes f ' times per second. This produces a changing magnetic field. Altogether a changing electric and magnetic field or hence electromagnetic field of frequency f ' is generated by the LC circuit.
But this emitted wave has only a particular form or shape. The shape will not change over time. So if we tune a radio with f ' frequency we may listen particular frequency (not something melodious obviously).
