Talk Radio & Streaming

Seems a lot of stations that feature talk, also stream. I am wondering if they need the permission from the shows they stream, re; Laura Ingrham, Clark Howard or are those shows just happy to get the added coverage. Can anyone explain this?
 
Prob need permission or have to pay; for awhile WRKO, when they had Rush, didn't stream him
but maybe later did. (Rush Radio probably does though.) Some people were wondering why they were rebroadcasting the morning
show during Rush's time slot---that was prob why. And of course in terms of sports, let's
say when the Red Sox are on WEEI you get ESPN instead (used to be Fox Sports). There was occasionally a post on Facebook (WEEI page) asking why ESPN (or, before, Fox Sports) was
on WEEI instead of the Big Show.

I pointed out the Red Sox were on WEEI and due to MLB regulations regarding streaming they had
to run something else. Similarly, Sox affiliate WBOQ would run "good time favorites"
during games on their stream.

Yes sir. And WCBS 880's stream runs their normal all-news format during The Yankees games.
 
i wonder if it would ever change i have an app for my i phone i paided 99 cents for called tune in radio, and once in a great while i can get a game of some sort on there. my reception at work is horrible especially with the new lights they put in. so i use the stream to get wfan in new york. and would like to listen to redsox games or celts games this way but cant. why cant the stations pay a fee and get the games on stream its the new thing is all....
 
Because the MLB and NFL both have their own stream services that individuals Must pay for. And they'd be darned if someone could listen online without paying.
 
And IIRC Rush reserves the rights to any streaming audio of his live show so he can sell the feature as part of his "Rush 24 7" website.

I don't know if the affiliates contractually required weekend replays are allowed to be put out on the local affiliates stream.
 
>>my reception at work is horrible especially with the new lights they put in.

Mentioned before I have same problem at work (if they went back to WRKO, Sox, it might come in barely using a mini FM transmitter, or with WMKK there would be no prob at all, but otherwise
I must record it on a mini boombox and play it back later. Lunchroom OK. Tried Insignia
HD portable and even being just a few miles away from 93.7 stick, I couldn't pick up WEEI
on their HD-3 for more than a sec (except in lunchroom). And WBOQ can't penetrate
into the workroom floor either.
