If you want to send money to some organization to avoid being
prosecuted for "Illegal use of an unregistered Music on Hold" then go
ahead.
But who is going to ?
If the station itself tells me that it's fine that's good enough for me!
With a radio broadcast there is the expectation that it will be freely
available to the general public.
otherwise I would have to get a licence from the radio station before I
turned on my radio at the beach ( just in case someone might overhear it ).
So lets get real...The advertisers pay the radio stations to reach the
public. MOH does this( in a very small way).
Lets leave this legal stuff to the people who know.

It should be pointed out that whether you are using a radio or or a

must buy a license from SOCAN. The stations themselves may also prohibit
this use.

Of course this also applies to playing CDs.
The last time I checked the licenses are cheap though.
