Someone asked:

It's handled a few ways. First, for stations that air "swap shop" shows 
those are exempt because the purpose of the show is known to callers 
that there calls might be broadcast. Also, for talk shows, call 
screeners will inform the callers that they will be on the air and 
secure premission before that caller is handed over to the host.
Also, if your station airs callers for requests and dedications, you can 
run an occassional announcement like "callers to WXXX may be recorded 
for broadcast".
That abou covers it.
