Yes but I always took that as a warning to LISTENERS that they were not 
allowed to tape it and then charge for its use.  I didn't think it meant 
the station itself couldn't air a re-play of its own programming.  I mean, 
this was Gil and Gino on WBCN-- perhaps other affiliate stations of the 
Patriots Rock Radio Network would have needed WBCN's permission to re-air, 
but I don't understand why WBCN doesn't retain the rights to its own 
programming.  I think the NFL is totally wrong on this one.
