Talk:Radio Newyork International

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So the history of the radio station is all well and good, but it leaves us completely in the dark. Just what, exactly, was being broadcast on this station? Why were these individuals attempting to broadcast illegally? siafu 00:37, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

It was called "free form rock and roll" which essentially means test broadcasts by amatuers because scheduled professional broadcasts were never aired. So imagine the worst music station you have ever heard and you have RNI with one exception: they were on the high seas off NY and that fact alone provided the magic of it all. I will add something about all of this now that you have raised the question. MPLX/MH 04:45, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Still looking for info about the actual broadcasters

Obviously MPLX didn't get around to his proposed addition before he left Wikipedia for good over a year ago, so we still have an article about RNI which spends signifigant space talking about the history of the ship instead and not a single word about the on-air staff. More than a few well-known NYC area pirate broadcasters contributed to RNI (illegal and legal versions), and the only one mentioned is Allan Weiner himself. Honestly, somebody has to have SOME info in this regard. --Enwilson 03:26, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
