I've also seen at least one article <http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/can-rush-peter-gabriel-legally-order-limbaugh-to-cease-using-their-songs-20120308> (link at *Rolling Stone*), also from '12, in which a lawyer basically suggests it's not the songwriter's station to complain about the use of their works on radio and/or the Net if the performing entity (in this case the applicable syndicator, perhaps jointly working with the comedian) negotiates and pays for a license from the applicable entities. This is similar to the sitch faced by politicians during campaigns, when staff are too ignorant to arrange for licenses usable at all the appearances candidates make.
