[CTSARA] Stamford Pirate Details

[Karl Zuk]

The pirate is known as 'One Love Radio' with studios in Bridgeport.

Reggae music from Jamaica or smooth R&B when they feel like broadcasting.

They now have a three station network: 106.5 Bridgeport and Stamford and 106.3 Waterbury.

They have several Facebook and Instagram accounts.

There is also a 45 minute YouTube video showing them in action.

Lots of pictures and movies on Instagram, too.

Simply search '106.5 One Love Radio' in a browser and you'll have multiple hits to visit.

Their Facebook page offers a map to find them in Bridgeport and their phone number.

There is also a mention of their 4pm sign on time in one of their posters.

I heard a comment that they have been on the air for ten years, although I haven't been able to verify it.

Brazen and bold, they are.


If you have ever traveled down the Cross Bronx Expressway or toured through Brooklyn,

you would have a good sense about how far pirate radio has progressed in the New York metro area.

It is rare to hear an unused channel without a pirate playing radio to their heart's content.

Many have websites and even sell commercials.

Here is a link to a study presented back in May you may find interesting:

With the very popular WLTW 'Lite 106.7' one channel adjacent on 106.7 FM,

you would think there would be interference complaints, but maybe not...
