[HCDX] Re: [NRC-AM] Allston-Brighton Free Radio is dead
ABFR actually goes back a little earlier than 2000, to about 1997; it
was originally on FM (along with a slew of other pirates that popped
up in the summer of 1997 in Boston) as Radio Free Allston and a round
of busts by the FCC in about late 1997 brought an end to that. The
operator, Steve Provizer, fancied himself as something of an
east-coast Stephen Dunifer. It came back later as ABFR on AM. Boston
has been a hotbed of unlicensed activity since that time, but ABFR is
really the only one that pushed a truly community agenda. All others
have been simply music or ethnic pirates.
