Episode Synopsis

Congress is in the process of passing a non-partisan bill to increase support for enforcement against illegal pirate radio operations: Fines can now go as high as $2 million, and the FCC will fund “enforcement sweeps” in major radio markets.

Episode three of The Verge's Pirate Radio mini-series featuring Bijan Stephen.
