Should be no problem since the caller is calling in with the expectation
of going on the air.

Sec.  73.1206   Broadcast of telephone conversations.

   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.
