Radio broadcasts

I have a radio broadcast on reel-to-reel that is from 1975. Is it in the public domain?

TIA,
L

The answer to your question as to whether your reel-to-reel radio broadcast is in the public domain is "it depends."

If you go to the following site, you can determine whether the broadcast is public domain material.

What does "Published without notice" mean? On the reel-to-reels, there is not a copyright symbol or any other notification on the works. From my research, this production was made by a radio station and then copies of it were sent out to about 200 radio stations to air it in 1975. This is one of those copies.
