Music Royalties and Syndicated Radio Programming

N

I was wondering if someone could shed some light on this subject:

When a radio station airs a syndicated radio program (i.e. “The True Oldies Channel,”) who has to pay for the music license & royalties? Is it the station that has to pay the royalties to ASCAP and BMI or does the radio program pay them? Also, who has to fill out the paperwork from ASCAP/BMI on what music was played? Just curious.
 
Carrying this a bit further, what about the satellite delivered formats? I was told that the company, for example, Dial-Global (but I am not picking on them), has to pay fees in addition to what the station would pay.

I'm thinking that is not correct that only the station pays the music licensing fees. The company supplies the music logs to the station of upcoming broadcasts.

Thanks.
