If your station includes only songs that feature recordings of your own band (or you as a solo artist), and your band owns all rights in those recordings, then you can include those songs in your programs (of course, that is, if the rest of your band authorizes you to do so!). If you are the sole performer, then no other permission would be necessary. If the only songs included in your programs are songs featuring you or your band, then the DMCA rules would not apply to your programs. In other words, for example, you could play such songs as many times as you would like in any given time period, you could have "looped" programs of less than three hours, and so on. Of course, to keep listeners interested, most Internet broadcasters find it important to constantly vary the material featured on their stations.
