The simple reason that "early" (once they actually existed, that is...) radio and TV shows don't exist is that for the first few decades of their existence everything was live; there were no recordings. It has absolutely nothing to do with copyright. |
Ouch. You're right-I was thinking about when radio was invented, not when it was used for broadcast and even less when 'shows' were broadcast. My bad, sorry about that.
