What is Pirate Cat Radio?
Pirate Cat Radio is a studio, performance space and community asset located at 2781 21st Street, San Francisco. We provide a 24/7 program stream accessible on on the web by individual listeners. See Listen/Live.
Pirate Cat Radio from time to time has been downloaded from the web and transmitted over the air as an extra-legal (unlicensed) service in Los Angeles, in Vancouver B.C., in Berlin, and in San Francisco using 87.9 fm and possibly other frequencies.
The Federal Communications Commission is charged with promoting “the larger and more effective use of radio in the public interest.” Pirate Cat Radio believes that the FCC has failed in that mission by not creating a practical means for local and neighborhood program services like ours to gain access to the air. We have sought licensing in the past and been ignored or turned down. The FCC appears to have no path of access to air, except for parties having millions of dollars to invest. This is wrong.
We do not try to regulate the use and re-use of our program service, and are not able to do so. Pirate Cat Radio will continue to look for ways to obtain legal broadcast authorizations for our service.
