[cma-l] Pirate Radio

[LOL GELLOR]

Well said Roy - and given my recent return to the CMA council I better make it clear that I say that as a purely personal view.  The fact that there has never really been an obvious pathway into commercial radio, notably local, for anyone but the very well financed or those prepared to risk "the pirate way" appears to be as prevalent as ever.

  Hello Roy,
 
 As one of your past occasional customers can I say that I hope that you will continue to post on this forum.  I can't comment on your post as the reference text seems to have dropped of somewhere, however, my reaction to the university survey on illegal (unlicensed) broadcasting (if that was the subject) was that the reasons are obvious.  BTW wasn't it wireless workshop who started making kit for college stations all those years ago?
 
 Regards  Tony Bailey

I don't really comment on this forum and this may be my last post. Community radio and pirate radio are forever entwined.   How did Broadcast warehouse ,SBS and Radica your transmission providers get going???? Could I possibly suggest that pirate radio may have been involved in their transmitter testing and development If you don't understand this comment then then you have no concept of the evolution of this sector of the broadcast industry and how it has got you on air today. You should be grateful for Pirate radio or you would not have a UK made transmitter.   DJ Uncle has been walking around with a Police tracking bracelet on his ankle after the last arrest. The Police supported his station as did local politicians. But WHY because it acted as as mouthpiece to calm local flash points. He has tried many times to go legit and has no chance in hell. He is not your enemy he should be applaulded for his work at great personal cost and you should work together.   Don't get sniffy with all pirates KISS and XFM where there once.   I would like to state I have not been part of pirate radio, mainly because I had day jobs in my early 20's with the BBC, Radio Luxemberg 208 and Soho production studios,  So I could hear my recordings on the radio every night anyway. 
  What disturbs me is a lack of understanding of cultures other than your own comfort zones. A pirate is just this weeks illegal immigrant as far as you all seem to be concerned. Don't forget illegal is a moving target, it was illegal to be GAY not so long ago.   Thanks and goodnight. Roy Parsons
