ABC is running a story about the same thing tonight on the evening
news....just saw a promo for it on Good Morning America.

Subject: [BC] NPR violation of 73.1206?

This morning's Morning Edition on NPR had a story about getting through
telephone menu trees quickly. They gave a demo on the air where it appeared
they made a call, worked their way through a menu, then told the person who
answered they were being recorded for broadcast and asked if that was ok. It
was my understanding that you had to have permission BEFORE recording a
conversation for broadcast
(http://sujan.hallikainen.org/FCC/FccRules/2006/73/1206/) and that getting
permission during the recording was not adequate. Was this a violation?
Since NPR is not a licensee, do they face any liability? Do, instead, the
stations that broadcast the story face liability since NPR probably acted on
their behalf?
