That's what they're supposed to do -- either that or destroy the
copies.  They don't always do so.  I used to have a set of two vinyl
discs for CBS's "Top 40 Satellite Survey with Dan Ingram", clearly
labeled "AFFILIATES: DESTROY AFTER LAST AIRING", which WQCR gave away
in a contest.  (I wish I knew what happened to them -- I have a lot
more appreciation now for Ingram's talents than I did at the time.)
