Quoting a previous Steve Martin contribution:- I look at it like this: Pirate radio that doesn't interfere is more or less left alone and allowed to flourish.

The start time was changed from five o'clock to four thirty and screwed up all subsequent Sky+ recordings - I was out and recorded nothing! Caught the end of C Wolf!

Jim Spink 14 August 2008 23:47

Quoting a previous Martin Rosen contribution:- Nah. It's what radio used to be about. Radio has no purpose this century. Yes. That's even worse. It's music from dead people.

It does seem incredible that pirate radio is still so big in the uk. Is it time that Ofcom looked at having a small number of frequencies available for licence-exempt low power...

Simon Crees 25 November 2008 19:24

To add to my earlier reply Ofcom estimates that on average 15% of Londoners listen into pirate stations. In some boroughs this is considerably higher.
