Also this week, Pirate Radio is booming! As a follow up
to our recent show on the current radio revolution, we'll
peek into the thriving world of Pirate Radio, and probe the
dark corners of broadcasting seldom revealed. Allan will be
speaking to some of the most notorious underground pirates
in America. Homegrown illegal radio stations are popping up
everywhere, from the subversive fanatics to underground music
stations that actually get good ratings.
Joining Allan will be pirate radio expert and author
of Pirate Radio Stations: Tuning in to Underground Broadcasts
in the Air and Online, Andrew Yoder. Although broadcasting
pirate radio is illegal, listening is no crime and Andrew
knows how to find the stations on AM, FM or short wave. Now
in the era of the Internet, some stations have gone legit
and now broadcast online. History tells us that pirate radio
forever changed the face of broadcasting. Now in the age of
mega-mergers and programmed coast-to-coast radio, pirates
are poised once again to revolutionize the industry. It's
an exciting time for radio!
