Well one of them at least!

Switched on my radio this afternoon and started scanning (In vain as it has been up to now for the last 2 weeks) to see if any of the pirates who were forced off the air by the BCI/Garda raids nearly 2 weeks had returned to our airwaves, or if anyone had decided to start broadcasting in defiance of the BCI and the corporate radio establishment, and guess my great surprise and delight when I turned to 94.4FM and heard one of Dublin's dance music stations - KISS 94.4FM back on air, admitedly on reduced power.

I don't know whether or not KISS FM will just broadcast at weekends, and at night, or whether they decided "To hell with it", and they've decided that under the current repressive circumstances that they've got nothing to lose by broadcasting full time again. Even for those who don't like dance music this is a great day for freedom of our airwaves and hopefully more of the other pirates will follow suit.

I've heard Phantom are planning a return soon also Power should be back on the net (www.powerfm.org) within another week or 2 (fingers crossed !!)

The air waves are like a desert at the minute! - It takes something like this to make you realise how much the pirates where enriching life

I've also been amazed by John Power and several of the dance DJs on 2 fm coming out on their shows, on air, publicly defending pirate radio -fairly courageous methinks - or do the RTE high ups not listen to repetitive beats........

Finally like many dance music fans I've have been forced to listen to Spin fm and have been unsurprised to find that its MAINLY dire and peopled by personality less DJs who can just about beat mix but little else licking up pon their 30 golden pieces
