Since a copy has to be transfixed to a medium to receive copyright, how exactly does broadcasting qualify? This isn't an attack against you, just something I have oft wondered.
The show gets copyright protection when it is first fixed in tangible medium by the production team.
The legalities around broadcasting copyrighted materials constitute a huge portion of US Title 17, the copyright law (see http://copyright.gov). In general, only the copyright owner can authorize broadcasts and certainly doesn't lose copyright by doing it.
