I have a problem around my area (around one mile wide) of a pirate radio streaming on 107.2 (The Wyre) And am unable to actually listen to them I'm way in the wyre's range so that's not the problem. The main problem is that they play ACID music which to be frankly honest I don't like. From what i can guess they are streaming it from the tower-blocks like quarter of a mile away from me.

I have reported it to OFCOM but have had no reply back and it's been around 2 weeks. I could listen to them over wifi, but bleh, shouldn't have to do that because of a pirate.

Any suggestions?

Ontopic: Try an other FM radio, if that dosen't work, they dosen't stream propebly. So I guess it's nothing wrong with you.

Why don't you contact the radio station you wish to listen to but cannot because of the pirate station and let them deal with it? They'll have much more influence than you do.

Already done, and no response. Same with OFCOM

If you have contacts for your local council/MP, they should be able to help you.
Alternatively, pop into your local CAB (Citizens Advice Bureau ) and they should have the relevant contacts and advice for you.

Override the channel yourself with pirate-pirate radio? And start transmiting the music you like so, even when you're not home you can listen your playlist in some radius from car or whatever.

No, but seriously. Invest in some MP3 player, and in car, get a radio with AUX input, or ipod support. Stop listening to main-stream crap, please (and 99.9% of radios only play that). All you do with that is kill the real music. I would also say "listen to pirate stations", if it wasn't acid.

No and no. I'm not spending money to get around a 'illegal' station who don't even bother buying licences. Why should I have to pay to get around?

And yes it affects cars around my area for quite a distance.

Offtopic, but what's the problem with supporting local radio? I have several local radio stations that don't just play mainstream music. Besides, since radio stations actually have to buy the music, they are one of the largest supporters of music artists and groups. Listen to the radio and keep artists in business and help keep jobs of hard-working people who run the station.

Mrkrabz, I apologize for going off-topic in your thread.

Tell your local newspaper or a news station, when they pick it up, the cops will pick it up also.
Lots of illegal stuff are getting solved in Estonia just because of the media.

Buy one of these http://www.audio-mania.co.uk/shop/Au...P3-Players-119

And put it into any MP3 or Ipod and tune it into your radio!
