I had a video of tornado from last Friday.

I was trying to get it up quickly because we wanted to get it up on my radio stations website. I found out over the weekend that at least two TV stations used my video and ran it over the air. Being in such a hurry to get it up I did not get a © on it.
My question is this. If a tv station wants to use your video without a copyright on it do they need to contact the person who created the video before doing so, or does having a "public" video on Youtube make it available for anyone?
