On 03.01.2017, the project @PiratesOnAir saw the light of day on the Internet. The associated Twitter account went online shortly after midnight. Five (!) years of hard work and the only media project of the pirate movement that has lasted this long.

There was a lot of encouragement, but also a lot of (envious) criticism. A question, which actually everyone could answer itself, why probably an association is the carrier. At this point, it should also be pointed out once again that political parties do not receive broadcasting permission from a state media authority. Not to mention the costs that the rights exploiters (GEMA, GVL, etc.) then call up.

A few thousand broadcasts later, we have worked our way up to a small but fine full program that is open to everyone (as long as certain rules are followed). Since the last quarter of 2021, we have been broadcasting around the clock.

Of course, we are also happy to fulfill program requests, if feasible.

In our opinion, this will continue to be the case, as long as we continue to receive financial and non-material support.
