I would research what do drive-in movie theaters do for licencing/compliance for RF, hopefully you could do the same.
I read on the internet that "The movie audio is provided with a local FM radio broadcast"
They must have a local radio FM station license?
or used a license-free https://wholehousefmtransmitter.com/who-else-needs-the-best-drive-in-theater-fm-transmitter-for-cinematic-sound-quality/
lol I don't know, but Id try to do the same as them. Other examples are parks having their own advisory FM station or traffic stations
50 W on FM, woo hoo!
The purpose of these radio programming undertakings is to inform tourists in national or provincial parks and on historic trails about the features of the parks and trails, and to provide traffic control information.

Of course this will vary region by region...
Some new cars, including Tesla, Ford, and BMW don’t have FM or AM radios. I was surprised to see this in my new car, especially as public warning messages are transmitted on radio.
Dumb idea.
I think those devices are banking on the exception for a personal area FM transmitter. They were popular 10-20 years ago as CD and MP3 player adapters for cars. They'd connect to the headphone jack and then transmit to the car's radio.
At least in the US, the FCC only allows those to have a very short range. So anything beyond 100 ft / 30 meters is highly questionable--regardless of what the manufacturer claims for the range.
I'd imagine in the original poster's situation, if they could get an internet connection that close, they wouldn't need to re-broadcast the stream.
