    This is a very long shot, but does anyone have any recordings of the

    copyright material and in any event I assume such material will not be retained long term.

    Depending on the station's retention pplicy, there will have been a
    station log recording of him speaking available for a while, but these
    are not normally available to those outside the station and the
    authorities. These were or area a legal requirement, but were or are
    normally deleted after a year or so and the media re-used.

    Have you asked the station management or station archivist about these? Presenters would have only had access to their own recordings, and may
    not even be aware they exist.
