Do you need to license anything to do a radio broadcast of a game? All it’s doing is reporting the facts.

I suspect it’s less immediately dismissible than you suggest.

If you broadcast the game, that's not just facts but playing audio that someone records. Just telling the result or current state, sure, that's just data - but I never heard that there's a license for that.
