Broadcasting in the amateur bands is prohibited.

But "amateur radio news bulletins" are legal in the USA.

But that's not what the original poster is asking about.

He's talking about "radio broadcasting" but "amateur" as in
a hobby not being paid.

He's not talking about "amateur radio", he likely doesn't even know about
it. He wants to play radio DJ, and he's either going to bootleg or
stay within the miniscule power levels allowed for "unlicensed" use.

Since he's not talking professional, he stumbled on this newsgroup because
he saw the "radio" angle. Indeed, he may have latched on the notion of
"amateur radio" to describe what he wants to do by finding this newsgroup.
Unaware that amateur radio is a hobby of two way communication dating back
to nearly the origins of radio, he thinks he's in the right place.
