In the US, for streaming you generally need ASCAP/BMI & SESAC for composers/lyricists and then SOUNDEXCHANGE that covers the artist(s). (If you're an FCC licensed station, then you need to add Soundexchange but there is a deal for you I believe).
You may be able to avoid SESAC as they are the smallest but you need to ensure that you don't play any songs covered in their catalog. I get my coverage from an aggregator, Loudcity that covers all bases. They are now taking online stations again.
