The World’s First Public Access Pirate Radio Station Live On The Air NOW!

November 10, 2000---Minneapolis, USA

Twin Cities residents awoke to a pre-campaign discussion forum of an unusual sort Monday morning—a pirate radio station that allows the public to submit their own audio programming. Minneapolis’ infamous 2000 Flushes Pirate Radio emerged from years of inactivity to "flush away the past" and provide a first of it’s kind public forum for free speech.

Using the latest ASP and Shoutcast technology supplied by Minneapolis-based Meme Radio (memeradio.com) listeners are able to upload their own programming in MP3 format through the 2000 Flushes website (2000flushes.com). Upon uploading, the programming gets cued automatically into a playlist and re-broadcast to the entire Twin Cities area within minutes on 94.1 FM.
