Why is there a thread celebrating the launch of a pirate station anyway?

I was just thinking the same thing.

Why is there a thread celebrating the launch of a pirate station anyway?

The topic starter didn't appear to know whether this was a pirate or not in the first post.

Most listeners have no idea that pirates are unlicensed or illegal. The general public isn't really aware of these things. Most people just hear a station on the dial, and listen if they like it. It's just us radio geeks who know which stations are licensed and which aren't.

If this station gets on the air, most people who hear it will think it's the same legal station as WBOT 97.7 back again, unless it's extremely unprofessional sounding.

If Touch 106.1 ended up with a license, would you stop loving that station because it's not a pirate?

If they stay the same ( or get better ), I will still love them ( Touch-FM ).

There are at least 3 pirate stations that have a bigger coverage area and probably have more listeners than WRBB. That's messed up.

I found an article in a newspaper about Hot 97.1 http://bulletinnewspapers.com/defau...&pform=&sc=1725&hn=bulletinnewspapers&he=.com

Their website is http://www.hot97boston.com

Pirates? Aren't they 200 years too late?

The Parrotheads in the audience will love that with everyone else scratching their heads!

Like the loan shark is part of "Boston Banking".

Like the guy at the end of the bar taking bets is part of the "Mass Lottery".

Like the guy coming to collect weekly 'protection' money is part of the Boston Police Force.

Now I have it figured out....

Less than 4 days till Hot 97.1 "WHOT" goes on the air.
How about getting the FCC to shut them down immediately after they go on the air? Get WTKK to turn off its transmitter 5 minutes before "WHOT" launches, then triangulate Hot 97.1's signal and bust them before they finish saying "we the best". For WTKK, it's worth 10 minutes of being off the air rather than months of interference.

I can't wait to hear about its demise! There's only one Hot 97. It's in New York and it's legal.

This pirate manages to piss off 4 stations...2 of which are not even in Boston!

WTKK 96.9 - Interferes with them
WJMN 94.5 - Competes with their format
WQHT 97.1 New York - Stole the "Hot 97" name
WHOT 101.1 Youngstown, OH - Stole the "WHOT" call letters

We should send emails to all 4 of those stations asking them to complain to the FCC about this pirate

Oh, and check out Hot 97.1 Boston's Facebook page

WRONG ANSWER!!! There is actually more than one HOT 97!!!

I know of one in Jackson Mississippi Which is WRJH HOT 97.7 and they are legal. I believe they are a Radio-One affiliate
