San Diego's Pirate Radio Station

About Me


We are a low power, unlicensed community radio station in San Diego. Located near center city, you can hear us in Downtown, North Park, South Park, Hillcrest, Sherman Heights, the college area, University Heights, Golden Hill, Southcrest, City Heights, Chula Vista, National City, Barrio Logan, Logan Heights, the Harbor district, Banker's Hill, Balboa Park, portions of Spring Valley, La Mesa, Grossmont, and San Diego proper locales.
We first started broadcasting in 2002, meaning that we've been on the air for over two years now. There's a few different versions of us, but it's been more or less the same people as always, and the format / style has stayed pretty much true to form.

My Interests

We like music of all types, radio, talk shows, and San Diego.

I'd like to meet:

Everyone! Obviously we are a radio station broadcasting to an area containing hundreds of thousands of people, so we would love to know all of them. Let's be specific though.

Are you a local San Diego band? Then you instantly get airplay on our station, with your stuff mixed into our regular rotation (during the daytime). In addition to that, we also have a dedicated local show on Sunday nights that is only for bands from our town. Send your stuff to: (Local San Diego bands only!!!)

Are you a band / label / promoter / other "music business" person? You can (and should!) send your stuff in as well, but it's a little different process. All of our DJ's play different stuff, and as much as you might not want to pigeon hole your music into a particular genre, if you send a death metal CD to our Sunday morning gospel show DJ, there's a good chance it'll never do anything but end up collecting dust in the studio. The smartest idea is to get to know our station a bit, find a DJ that you think would like your style, and then address it to them in this format:

"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it". Evelyn Beatrice Hall writing as S.G. Tallentyre in 1906 (Commonly attributed to Voltaire of whom Hall wrote a biography).
"...if any opinion is compelled to silence, that opinion may, for aught we can certainly know, be true. To deny this is to assume our own infallibility." John Stuart Mill, On Liberty (1859).
"In a free state, tongues too should be free." Erasmus, The Education of a Christian Prince (1516).
"Aren't people absurd! They never use the freedoms they do have, but demand those they don't have; they have freedom of thought, they demand freedom of speech." Søren Kierkegaard, Diapsalmata, Either/Or (1843).
"If liberty means anything at all it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear." - George Orwell, Preface to Animal Farm (1946)
"Goebbels was in favor of free speech for views he liked. So was Stalin. If you're in favor of free speech, then you're in favor of freedom of speech precisely for views you despise. Otherwise, you're not in favor of free speech." Noam Chomsky, Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media (1992).
"I have fought censorship all of my adult life. To me, the most precious of all rights in this marvelous country called the United States of America is the freedom to think, write and say whatever is on your mind... That freedom also extends to thoughts that are stupid, ignorant or incendiary. No one needs a to write about how cute newborn babies are or to publish a recipe for stawberry shortcake. Nobody needs a First Amendment for innocuous or popular points of view. That's point one. Point two is that the majority-you and I-must always protect the right of a minority-even a minority of one-to express the most outrageous and offensive ideas. Only then is total freedom of expression guaranteed." Lyle Stuart in his introduction to The Turner Diaries
"The price of freedom of religion, or of speech, or of the press, is that we must put up with a good deal of rubbish." Robert H. Jackson
"The principle of free thought is not free thought for those who agree with us but freedom for the thought we hate." US Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes in United States v. Schwimmer (1929).
