Question

Answer 1

The simplest legal way is to write down all the details, and then mail them to yourself (use certified mail, so you have a receipt). Keep the envelope sealed, and then you have proof that you had the idea on the date the letter was mailed.

Answer 2

The idea itself can't be copyrighted, but you can copyright an expression of that idea, such as a printed news release or a Web site.

Answer 3

I use to copyright my songs and poems by mailing them to myself, it's referred to as the poor mans copyright, as long as there's a post mark date, and the letters remain sealed, it is as legal as any form of copyright.

Answer 4

Call the radio station and tell them that you're a great person. They should really be nice to you.

Splooch!
