Description

Pirate radio, loved by its DJs and listeners but hated by the broadcasting authorities, is both a thrill and a challenge for those involved. In Manchester, DJs from pirate radio stations such as Frontline Radio and Love NRG talk about their love of music and the problems in keeping their stations on air. In the debate about the differences between pirate broadcasting and the regulated industry, Mike Gray of Kiss 102 explains the position of the commercial stations, DJ Tabs talks about being a female DJ, while listeners to both types of radio give their opinions.
