About WXRQ
Programming and sources
WXRQ streams radio and television on a repeating daily schedule. Radio programming includes readings of declassified FBI and CIA documents, original drama, early recorded music, and narrated books.
The television channels show horror and fantasy films, animated shorts, and science, engineering, and space-program films. Video copies come from the Internet Archive, NASA’s Scientific Visualization Studio, and Wikimedia Commons. The collection includes NASA and other U.S. federal agency productions, films held by the National Archives, and early commercial films and cartoons.
The archive hosting a file is a source, not proof that the file is free to broadcast. We record a separate rights basis for each video considered for the library.
Copyright checks
Our rights records identify the source, creator, publication details, and the basis for reuse. The review considers the underlying work, the specific recording or print, any restoration or added material, and other restrictions.
For video, automated screening flags uncertain dates, later soundtracks, restorations, and conflicting source information. A film's age or an uploader's public-domain label is insufficient on its own. Material held by a government archive also needs an authorship check: donated commercial films are not government productions.
Films need a cleared rights record and release approval before our system adds them to the video library. Candidates with unresolved rights stay out of that build. Radio releases also require validated provenance records. These checks document our basis for use; they do not guarantee that a rights claim can never be disputed.
For a copyright concern, contact WXRQ with the title, channel, date and time, and the rights information you want us to examine.
