107.9 Pirate Radio

107.9 Pirate Radio was a branding used by several unlicensed or "pirate" radio stations operating illegally in the United States. These stations typically broadcasted without FCC authorization, often featuring alternative, rock, or independent music along with uncensored commentary. The frequency 107.9 FM is notable because it is the upper limit of the FM broadcast band in the U.S., sometimes making it a target for pirate broadcasters. Specific stations using the "Pirate Radio" name have varied by location and time, and their operations were often short-lived due to FCC enforcement actions.
