Radio Equipment Seized From Pirate Radio Station


MARCH 12, 2013


BOSTON – A warrant recently unsealed in U.S. District Court details the
seizure of radio transmission equipment of a pirate radio station
broadcasting from Brockton. 

The seizure, by federal officials on March 1, 2013, occurred at the
station’s last known address on Rutland Street in Brockton. The pirate radio
station is alleged to have been using frequency 91.7 MHz without a license
from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). A civil action was brought
seeking forfeiture of the equipment because it was allegedly used in
violation of federal law.

This was mentioned this morning in a brief on WATD's news. The U.S.
Attorney's office said the pirate was interfering with air traffic control
communications at Logan, and said the station had been warned "several"
times.
