When broadcasting live recordings of street artists, it is important to consider the applicable copyright laws. In most cases, the performers likely retain intellectual property and copyright rights in their performances; as such, it's important to obtain permission from the artist or an authorised representative before publicly broadcasting their work.

In order to be compliant with copyright laws, one should make sure they have acquired appropriate permissions or licenses for any public broadcasts. This can typically be done by obtaining written permission from the artist or rights holder, entering into a licensing agreement (e.g., with a performance-rights organization like ASCAP), or playing pre-recorded tracks from an licensed audio collection. 

Overall, it is imperative to keep copyright considerations in mind when programming live recordings of street artists on your radio station. Doing so ensures compliance with applicable laws while also supporting these musicians and acknowledging their rightsholder interests in their work.  Thanks for asking!

As the owner of a small radio station, you should be aware of copyright considerations before broadcasting any live recordings of street artists. It is your responsibility to obtain permission from the artists or their copyright holders before broadcast. To ensure legality, it's best to get written consent from the copyright owners granting you rights to publicly perform and record their works.
