Busted

Sec. 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.

Guilty or not guilty?

      The audio speaks for itself. The link is not to the web page.

      Haha… I’m 99% sure I tested the link. Looks like someone removed it :)

        AHAH ! and the verdict is…… well I don’t know the link on snopes is broken, or down, right now.

        Thanks anyway for the redirect. I was beginning to think I was dumber than I thought I was :)

          It’s an .mp3 file, not a playlist, which is probably the problem. On my PC, QuickTime launches. If the browser isn’t associating .mp3 with any program, either you’ll have to “Save as” to local disk and play it, or Copy/Paste the URL into the player by hand to tell it what to play…
