Seeing that it's being broadcast on a pirate station, I wonder if it's just someone's tape they made when it was run on RKO years ago? Have any necessary permissions been granted by the syndicator to "The Wave" to air this program?
 
From what I am told it is owned by a production company and they have permission to air the program. Also I heard that the ASCAP fee last year was $350.00 (non-com station). I hope that answers your question Eli. If you have anymore questions you can email the owner of the station directly through the website: www.879thewave.webs.com.

Mmm-hmm! I'm sure the operator of the station has permission to air this the same way he has permission to be on the air in the first place. ::)

There is no syndicator. It was a production of RKO General Broadcasting and they lost their licenses for radio and TV. I doubt the tire company would care.
 
The entire program is actually available online as a free download, if you know where to look - lol. I’m sure it’s just as legal as the recent broadcast :)
 
Hey guys, I just got an email for me to ask you guys if you would be interested in hearing some classic Jerry Williams stuff including the funny sex survey with the washing machine lady from February of 1992.
