Can I suggest that you go to the Performing Rights Society web site who can supply you with all the information you need.
Good luck.

If you're setting up a station you should research this properly yourself. I'm not sure how being online affects things, but you could write to the record companies and gain their permission quite easily.
Provided your college would help you to confirm that it's not a commercial station they shouldn't really have a problem.

in the UK when you buy a cd/dvd etc it is for your own personal use. if the material is to be transmitted to others (either through a closed circuit or over the air) you will require a copyright licence which in effect gives you the permission of the materials owners to transmit the material. hope this helps.

you need to check with a.s.c.a.p. or b.m.i. about licensing
