In the typical case most radio stations acquire the music they play for no cost.

What now?



I don't believe that radio stations do not a) compensate the music source in some way or b) have an agreement with the source otherwise authorizing them to broadcast it. If they don't, then that is between them and the source. You are not involved in that part.


It's b. Producers pay radio stations to advertise their music. It is called payola.
