???? that’s a new one on me Derrick
? I could be wrong, but the Pirates I have heard as I have
travelled around the Country tend to focused on one style of music or one style
of banter or a topic of promotion ….. it is very rare they make
programming for the Community as a whole ?? however, as
I have said before, I could have missed something or been tuned into the wrong
ones.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Tytherington near the old <st1:place w:st="on">Rugby</st1:place> club grounds
where for an area of about 1000 yards square you could clearly pick up a Pirate
Station. This is about 8 years ago and the Station was actually quite proud at
being a Pirate (they boasted on-air) the music
was basically all hip hop and rap and nothing else ….. there was bad
language as well in a lot of the material. I listened for about half an hour
and then they disappeared …. I was as high as a kite by the time
I’d finished LOL
this was on a Sunday morning. As a matter of interest I went back the following
Sunday but they weren’t there.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

18’s football match about three weeks later on a Saturday morning. The
rugby pitch is now a footie pitch hence why I was there … and hey presto
… they were there again another blast of
hip hop and rap. They never mentioned frequency though. Even though I assumed
they were on 102.8 or 102.75
??? I returned again on the Sunday
morning and they were there again !
I tried Mon – Fri they were not there …..
and I did try again after that. I have never heard them since apart from as I
say a few pecks here and there on a weekend. I don’t know, I am only
guessing, but it could be them ????<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

been on the receiving end of bad judgement by the GPO, Radio Authority &
Ofcom may I congratulate <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Roy</st1:place></st1:City>
for his frank assessment. Pirate Radio has made a significant contribution to
broadcasting in this country & it’s sad that politicians don’t
recognise it. Pirate Radio , not the BBC, has been the backbone of innovation
and others have followed. Luckily we now have the internet where freedom of expression
& creative thought is at the forefront. The BBC has a fantastic opportunity
to embrace the spirit of pirate radio through the numerous community stations
that are still broadcasting but I fear that they will not grasp the nettle.
Meanwhile, out here in the Cotswolds, our community internet radio station is
coming up to its eighth anniversary, all done without the help of Ofcom or the
BBC, we do it efficiently & cost effectively.</span></font><font
