The article is devoted to the characteristics of the object of related rights of a broadcasting organization. The subject matter of the study is the legal regulation of this object in the Laws of Ukraine “On Television and Radio Broadcasting”, “On Copyright and Related Rights” of 1993, and the Civil Code of Ukraine whose provisions contained conflicts for a long time, and the Law of Ukraine “On Copyright and Related Rights” of 2022. The purpose of the article is to provide a comprehensive characterization of the broadcasting organization program as an object of related rights and to determine its relationship with the separate show of the broadcasting organization. The study was conducted using historical, comparative legal, formal legal, dialectical and logical methods. It is substantiated that a separate show, in case of a creative contribution to its creation, is an oral work (radio show) or an audiovisual work (television show) capable of copyright protection. Related rights of broadcasting organizations extend to a set of shows and other materials combined in the program but not to individual components of this program. This approach is also reflected in the provisions of the new Law of Ukraine “On Copyright and Related Rights” of 2022. It is determined that the program of broadcasting organization is not identical to a composite work since its legal protection covers the result of not creative selection and arrangement of certain materials but organizational and technical efforts to compose certain objects into a complete program.
