I guess it is time to educate you. I hope you don’t mind looking so stupid ...
“Gee, then how did they broadcast all the bands in the New Year’s Day parade?”
They are allowed to transmit incindental music.
“Stupidity on display on your part. And, just so you know, the networks don’t have licenses, it’s the individual tv stations that are licensed.”
Duh ... The network picks up the music. They are not licensed to transmit it to the local stations!
Duh, are you really that stupid or are you just tailing me and really don’t care whether or not you look stupid?
You’re the one that’s wrong but that’s okay. We all know that you’re a lying, stupid POS. You just keep proving it. BTW, there is no “licensing” for transmission from the network. The licensing for the music is through BMI and ASCAP and the networks pay for that on an annual contract basis not on a per use or individual broadcast.
