Radio Karnap

Radio Karnap was a pirate radio station that operated illegally in the German city of Bottrop, specifically in the Karnap district, during the 1980s. It gained local notoriety for broadcasting without a license, challenging the state-controlled media landscape of the time. The station primarily aired music and local content, attracting a dedicated audience despite its unofficial status. Authorities eventually shut it down, as it violated broadcasting regulations in West Germany. It remains a notable example of grassroots media activism during that era.
