The outlaws of the airwaves

Article Abstract:

There could be as many as 50 pirate radio stations operating in London, England, with a similar number in the rest of the country. Opponents of pirate radio stations emphasize that these stations use poor quality equipment that can interfere with airports and hospitals and that they take up valuable radio spectrum space. Supporters of pirate radio believe that it plays an important role in defending free speech. The Radio Communications Agency is taking a tough stance against pirate radio, and in 1997 undertook 820 raids on 169 stations.

A brave fight to save B-92

Article Abstract:

The future of Radio B-92, an independent FM station based in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, seems uncertain since its transmitter was confiscated and its offices sealed by the Serb authorities. The station had been able to operate via a website following the seizure of its transmitter, and this remains online. However, visitors can no longer access live news and music streams. Campaigning group Help B-92 is now seeking to continue the station's work in making information available from independent news sources inside Yugoslavia.

You ask the questions

Article Abstract:

Tamara Beckwith resents being labelled as an 'It girl.' She greatly enjoys being involved in a range of activities, including modelling, television presenting and presenting on Liberty Radio. She feels that her ideal man would have to be able to adapt to her constantly changing moods, as well as being sensitive, humorous and interested in sports. She owns many pairs of shoes, but does not feel that she is addicted to designer-label clothing.
