What's the legality of using radio broadcasts in music? Is radio public domain or is it a copyrighted by the station? Do the same rules apply for broadcast television?
The music is still controlled by whoever owns the copyright; the stations pay a fee to use it. DJ speech is generally copyrighted by the station as work for hire. Commercials are copyrighted separately. Yes, same rules for TV. Lang
