Television and radio stations are licensed with ZAMCOPS to broadcast music. However, the license does not cover further public performance by those receiving TV or radio broadcasts. When a TV or radio broadcast is used in a commercial establishment such as in a pub, restaurant, shop, factory, or office, the use is a separate performance and the establishment is required to obtain a ZAMCOPS license.
