Rearranging nouns like this correct?

Hi. Please help. Do you think we can move around the words "theatre," "television" and "radio" like below?

In the Collins COBUILD Advanced Learner's English Dictionary, a definition among some others for the word "drama" is this:

A drama is a serious play for the theatre, television, or radio.

I think we can write it out like this (since in this context, we would not put definite articles in front of the words "television" and "radio."

A drama is a serious play for the theatre, for television, or for radio.

If the what I wrote above is correct, are these correct too?

A drama is a serious play for television, radio, and for the theatre.
