§ 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.
