An example of a popular pirate (unlicensed) radio station in the U.S. today is Boulder, Colorado's "KBFR".
KBFR (Boulder Free Radio) broadcasts on 95.3 FM from a nondescript van that moves from place to place within Boulder. Sometimes KBFR transmits from a fixed location using antennas placed around town (hosted by local Boulder residents) and other times transmits directly from the van itself. KBFR also streams their signal live on the internet using wireless internet connections provided by dozens of Boulder citizens.
KBFR is run by a group of about two dozen private citizens called the Boulder Underground Radio Group (BURG). This group is made up of a broad range of people in their late teens to people well into their 50's. The people themselves include those that are well off, middle class and unemployed as well as professionals, businesspeople and students. KBFR's political viewpoints run from the far left to the far right with many in-between.
KBFR's goal is to create diversity on the airwaves and to bring a service that used to belong to the people, the radio spectrum, back to the community.
The government agency which regulates the airwaves (the FCC) has a charter to "protect the public interest". Instead, the FCC has auctioned off virtually all radio station licenses to the highest corporate bidder.
KBFR is a platform for new voices and new music. Listen to KBFR and you will hear new local musicians and uncensored alternative points of view not heard on any of your local "McRadio" (your typical Clear Channel Corp. owned station) or other mainstream media outlet.
KBFR is part of a new national underground radio network called the Real Public Radio network. The mission of the RPR is to counter the standardized radio that's emerging from the corporate media consolidation being engineered by the FCC today.

A radio show hosted by Bam Margera and his friends. His show is very explicit, and very raunchy. It is on Mondays @ 7:00 pm EST Time. His show normally talks about sex, and sexually acts ect. There is never a moment when no cussing is going on.
This show is not ment for toddlers or you granny.
ONLY ON SIRIUS RADIO. Channel 28 Faction.

Bands like Nickelback, Staind, Seether, Shinedown, Papa Roach, Avenged Sevenfold, all the overplayed rock music on the radio and MTV. IT ALL SOUNDS EXACTLY THE SAME!!! There is nothing unique about them; the music, the lyrics, every song and every band sound alike. And for some unknown reason, people actually like it. bitches...
radio rock sucks. it's extremely rare when a mainstream band is actually good.

a person who likes an artist for a song they heard on the radio, and not because of any other songs. Similiar to a band-wagon sports fan.
Person 1: "have you heard eminem's new song When Im gone? its sooo good!"
person 2: "no its shit, u damn radio fan."

Crackpot radio refers to certain kinds of usually ultraconservative talk radio programs that offer constant tirades, but not serious news or commentary. The hosts commonly engage in ridicule and ranting, use derogatory words, and make up offensive nicknames to refer to public figures whose politics they find objectionable.
The Rush Limbaugh show is an example of crackpot radio.
