i'm in the East Bay, like 15 minutes out from Oakland. i'm listening to the one good jazz station (shout out to 91.1 KCSM) and i'm getting a bit bored of the current tune. they can't all be winners. anyway i set my iPod radio to scan through to find something else. it lands on a station playing this. i'm like "yeah it's after midnight and im wide awake, lets dance" so i stay put on 92.7.
after DJ Jean got us completely and thoroughly ready for the launch, a station identification plays. it's got all the flashy over-the-top sound design you'd expect and a voice with a slightly british accent goes–92.7 P-p-p-p-pirate radio. The 24/7 soiree never stops!
this tune starts up, but at this point i'm more focused on trying to make sure i had heard that correctly.
did it just self identify as a pirate radio station?
