This work is in the public domain because it was published in the United States between 1929 and 1977 inclusive, without a copyright notice. Unless the author has been dead for several years, it is not in the public domain in countries that do not apply the rule of the shorter term for US works. This includes Canada, China (not Hong Kong, Macao, or Taiwan Area), Germany, Mexico, Switzerland, and other countries with individual treaties. See also further explanation.

After researching this and some of the other Sound 10 Surveys and promotional photos given to listeners, I found that WCFL and/or the Chicago Federation of Labor did not mark any of this material with any type of copyright mark or other notification.

• There are no copyright marks or statements on either side of this survey. What is seen on the other side of it at the lower right is a mark indicating that the material was printed by union printers. (This would be in keeping with a radio station owned and operated by a union.) WCFL AM was sold by the Chicago Federation of Labor in 1978. The call letters disappeared from AM Radio in 1987.

• The item can be dated by the information on the other side of the survey at the link above, "Week ending November 17, 1966".
• Copyright searches were done on the following:

Chicago Federation of Labor-no results

WCFL-two results for books written about the radio station by non-employees.

• There is no evidence that a copyright is claimed on this material.

• United States Copyright Office page 2 "Visually Perceptible Copies The notice for visually perceptible copies should contain all three elements described below. They should appear together or in close proximity on the copies.

1 The symbol © (letter C in a circle); the word “Copyright”; or the abbreviation “Copr.”

2 The year of first publication. If the work is a derivative work or a compilation incorporating previously published material, the year date of first publication of the derivative work or compilation is sufficient. Examples of derivative works are translations or dramatizations; an example of a compilation is an anthology. The year may be omitted when a pictorial, graphic, or sculptural work, with accompanying textual matter, if any, is reproduced in or on greeting cards, postcards, stationery, jewelry, dolls, toys, or useful articles.

3 The name of the copyright owner, an abbreviation by which the name can be recognized, or a generally known alternative designation of owner.1 Example © 2007 Jane Doe."
