From 3.0 4.a. :

"You may Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work only under the terms of this 
License. You must include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) 
for, this License with every copy of the Work You Distribute or Publicly 
Perform."

So, to play a BY-SA song on the radio and keep with the license, you need to 
include a copy of the URI... That is a public performance, right?

When I asked about this before, it was suggested that the URI be read out 
(letter by letter?) whcih seems like it would not make for the best radio.

Does anyone have any other ideas as to how BY-SA works could be broadcast in 
a 
normal sounding radio music show?

So, in the absence of better ideas, it seems the choices might be to use the 
BY-SA license and have a funky sounding show or pay for a liecnse through a 
collecting society and have a decent sounding show.

Or am I being totally daft and missing something basic?
