[MacDV] Licensing for broadcast

[Richard Brown]

When a song is performed by someone who is not the artist of record, 
the cost of rights are significantly reduced, as I recall. It has been 
a popular choice amongst independent filmmakers when a popular song is 
desired for a soundtrack.

As far as rights go, given the limited scope of broadcast you suggest 
(local cable access) the price "to be legal" should also be a bit 
cheaper.
