There's punk rock, metal, ambient, techno and other genres. It's a well run and competent station, and there have been no other reports of this alleged radio "interference". Ofcom are probably blustering. However, Rage have broadcast some political rants off the internet, so much so that the station was dubbed "Rant FM" by some free radio forum users. There's a good tradition of political pirate radio in this country (with the Scottish Referendum, it's worth noting that the SNP way back in the fifties used to broadcast illegally as Radio Free Scotland / Radio Alba). The only thing about political pirate radio, especially from the radical left perspective, is that the authorities take a very dim view of it. It MIGHT explain why Rage has been raided again.
