Italic texthave been told repeatedly that if a person who wrote a given song records it himself/herself, and gives that recording to a U.S. airwave radio station with full written permission, that radio station cannot simply play it. Rather, I have been told that the radio station has to consult more than one authority, including the FCC, before they can play it -- that the FCC actually keeps lists of acceptable recordings, and that no radio station may step outside of its legally designated genre.
