Anybody failing to state author and license appropriately will void
the license. So the radio station of any size will have to return to
the golden age of announcing what's being played _and_ the license.
With all the other stuff playing without mention, this can be
excellent PR.

If they wouldn't comply, they could be sued. Which can be turned into
good advertising once again, because your original offer was honest
and good.

NC may exclude any distribution where there is payment or advertising
involved. So I would not use the NC clause without offering an
alternative. ("please ask for an individual license that will fit your
needs, like $example (Link!) and $other_example have done").

The pricing of individual licenses should be like the name says:
individual. There are many use cases: Small and big budget, with and
without a lawsuit, big or small label or radio station, ymmv.

Gotta cut it down to one point here, sorry to be in a hurry.
