Rights & takedown

If it’s yours, it comes down

RadioTime Machine respects the people who own these recordings. If you hold rights in a broadcast, or in the music or voices in it, and you don’t want it listed here, it will be removed. No argument, no forms.

Who can ask

Radio stations and their successors, record labels, music publishers and collecting societies, artists, songwriters, DJs and presenters, and their estates or representatives.

How to ask

Email rights@radiotimemachine.org with:

• which tape: the station, date and DJ, or the link to it,
• who you are and how you are connected to the rights,
• how to reach you.

What happens next

• The tape is taken off RadioTime Machine, normally within 48 hours of your email, and you get a reply confirming it.
• It is added to a permanent block list, so it is never listed again, even if it is uploaded again elsewhere.
• The audio file itself is hosted by the Internet Archive, not by this site. To have it removed there as well, use the Internet Archive’s copyright process.

Would rather it stayed?

If you are a DJ, station alumnus or family member and you are happy for a tape to be here, we would love to hear from you too. Corrections, stories and better credits are always welcome.

What this site is not

RadioTime Machine does not host, copy, sell or charge for any recording. It does not claim any rights in the recordings, the music or the station names, and it is not affiliated with any station, label or broadcaster.
