This is addressed under Sec. 73.1206  Broadcast of telephone conversations. 
The last part:

"Before recording a telephone conversation for broadcast, or broadcasting 
such a conversation simultaneously with its occurrence, a licensee shall 
inform any party to the call of the licensee's intention to broadcast the 
conversation, except where such party is aware, or may be presumed to be 
aware from the circumstances of the conversation, that it is being or likely 
will be broadcast. Such awareness is presumed to exist only when the other 
party to the call is associated with the station (such as as employee or 
part-time reporter), or where the other party originates the call and it is 
obvious that it is in connection with a program in which the station 
customarily broadcasts telephone conversations."
