I apologize, I left out too much information before I sent the query.
We've recorded programs off-air at faculty request for 35+ years and,
back in the day, licensed a fair number of them to be kept in the
collection. In so doing, we have/still do observe the Kastenmeier
guidelines, but have always declined requests to record programs off
cable stations (basically anything other than ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS). Not
being a committed TV viewer, I'm unclear as to the nature of MSNBC
(cable exclusively or hybrid station of some sort?) and whether,
according to the K. guidelines, it qualifies as a station from which it
is permissible to record. If it is, I do understand the convoluted
follow-up restrictions.
Thanks again,
Gail

A faculty member has requested that we tape "off-air" a 3 hour program
airing on MSNBC over this weekend. My first inclination is to say no.
Is this correct?
Thanks,
