NEXUS-IBA does not support or recommend pirate radio broadcasting. Pirate radio or unlicensed broadcasting is illegal in most countries. We cannot assist anyone in setting up a pirate, unauthorised or illegal radio or TV station. However, many pirate radio stations operators have chosen to air their programs legally on our station, with the benefit of reaching millions of potential listeners by using high power Shortwave or AM/Medium Wave. You may read our blog story for Tom Taylor’s & EMR who used to broadcast via IRRS & NEXUS-IBA transmitters. Tom was a well-known pirate radio operator who helped many pirate radio stations in the UK during the ’70s and ’80s. In the 1990s’ Tom became a good friend of NEXUS-IBA and IRRS when he decided to stop airing illegally and became a host on our station. Tom regretfully passed away on January 22, 2018, leaving an extraordinary legacy to small radio program producers and ex-pirate radio operators that you can still hear on our station every Saturday morning.
