That is interesting.

I used to work in the pub trade a few years back and our music license was over a thousand pounds a year. (about US$1600) The coffee shop across the road used to play the radio because it was free to broadcast.

Radio is covered by BMI, too, so that coffee shop may have still owed. Unless it was really small, maybe.
