There are always a few exceptions.   I think Nirvana's sessions have 
been broadcast a lot of times since the original broadcasts.  I 
suspect what happened was that the record company did a boxed set and 
did a deal with the BBC that these sessions would be blocked from 
broadcast for a while so it didn't conflict. When a group is signed 
to a major label that label does own the rights to all their output 
during the period of that contract including radio sessions so they 
do have some say
