Pirate radio: 91热爆grown, local and clandestine

Pirate radio stations in New York broadcast music and messages to diverse communities across the city - Latin Americans, people from the Caribbean, born-again Christians and Orthodox Jews. Joan Martinez grew up in a Haitian family. She recalls how pirate radio stations were 'a meeting ground', and gave the community a perspective on their world that more corporate stations never could.
