Of talk radio and copy rights

Sort of a non sequitur:
I don't know about Dave's situation but the subject reminded me
of another question: who owns the rights of a broadcast call-in show's
dialog?
Years ago I did a bunch of call-in stuff as the New Jersey
Editorial Minstrel. I recorded the stuff off the air. I'm wondering
who has copy rights in such situations?

Were you an employee of anyone during that time? If so, was your minstrel
act part of your work?

My day job was research, the call-in stuff was totally freelance (political
parodies)
no pay or contract involved. Most were phoned in because they involved current
hot topics, a few were mailed in. I was encouraged to call and even developed
a bit of a following, and some of the bit even got repeat air play.
