FrankenPirate

Heard on a regional broadcasting bulletin board:

Someone is rebroadcasting Air America on 105.5 [FM].

Heard this today while I was out and about. Weak signal in the Midway area, mixing with 'The River' out of St. Peter.

I assume this is an unlicensed operation (?)

In other words, someone is (allegedly) using an unlicensed transmitter to broadcast Air America programming, apparently in Saint Paul, on an unauthorized frequency.

I'll be checking this out on Wednesday.

While I tend to doubt that Air America is responsible for (or knows about) the pirate broadcast, it's interesting that someone out there feels their programming is important enough to risk the wrath of the FCC to bring to...part of Saint Paul.
