Can't. Copyright infringement. Besides, a full-on CHR/R would be very tough to sell. You have a lot of close minded people (not just in NH) who believe that that format could attract "questionable" people to their business.

How is "Granite State of Mind" copyright infringement? Weird Al's entire career is fair use, isn't it?
Weird Al ALWAYS gets the original artists permission before releasing any of his songs. That is why it's hard to find a few of his songs. Ususally its the one hit wonders that say no. He did a remake of "Your Beautiful" and the artist shot it down so its not on his latest album. Yes Im a Weird Al fan

1) Weird Al asks permission out of respect. He is free to parody any song that he wants.
2) James Blunt liked "You're Pitiful." His record label did not approve.

Did SSP obtain permission from Jay-Z and Island Def Jam?

Does he have to?
I believe permission is needed if it is going for air on the radio.
WFTN may want to consult an attorney on this before they wind up in hot water (potentially)

Did WFTN actually receive a copy of the song from the artist, or did they just dub it off Youtube? I'm not a lawyer either, but wouldn't being "serviced" with the song by someone associated with the artist (either on CD or being emailed an mp3) constitute de facto permission to use it on-air? I don't know how BMI/ASCAP reporting would be handled. I'm guessing if they just dubbed it from Youtube they could be opening a legal can of worms though.
As for fair use Parody is protected free speech but as for blatant ripping off of a song, especially sampling, read this
