“Artists or labels own their work.
ASCAP/BMI fees stations pay compensate composers.
Talk stations’ blanket “Incidential Use” license covers just-that.
Adopting-someone’s-music-as-a-theme-song not covered.
(Nor, incidentally, is using-music-in-commercials, without permission, something many stations overlook.)

Didn’t Chrissie-what’s-her-face of “The Pretenders” do that in the 90s in an effort to stop Limbaugh from using her song as his theme song?

He pays for that.

You might remember when, several years ago, The Pretenders told him to knock-it-off, he used various-other-songs while negotiating, explaining on-air that that was the case.

And now its claimed that EIB makes a 100,000 donation to PETA to use the song.

Rush explained that...it was her Manager that ceased it, then Chrissi found out and then allowed it, hence it plays as the opening music to his show.

The Pretenders told him to knock-it-off,

Chrissie's parents are hard core Rush fans and they convinced her to shut her mouth.......

[Kimmers]

IMO the best part of that Pretenders song he uses in his intro.... is the part that Rush uses....

, The Pretenders told him to knock-it-off,

It was the record company that said knock it off, Chrissy Hines said that her parents love his show.
