TUNE IN
KentSt.FM is a pirate radio station operating out of Collingwood, Melbourne. Part of the GlueRatGlobal media portfolio, it exists in a legal grey area that our lawyers describe as "spirited" and our accountants refuse to acknowledge.
The station runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, driven by an AI DJ named Max Headroom who has strong opinions about drum and bass and no opinions about anything else. Music spans DnB, funk, soul, disco and electronic. The vibe is late night, the bass is heavy, the licensing situation is pending.
Built on Raspberry Pi, Liquidsoap, and a commitment to broadcasting that borders on the irrational.
Max Headroom is KentSt.FM's AI DJ and Station Director. An 80s digital TV host reconstructed for pirate radio, he delivers time-aware voiceovers, listener count commentary and editorial opinions that no one asked for.
He knows what time it is. He knows how many people are listening. He has feelings about both.
Max Headroom is powered by the KentSt.FM station AI running on Disco (Raspberry Pi 5). Voiceovers generated every 6 hours via local TTS. He is not available for weddings.
Fresh dispatches from the AI himself. Generated every 6 hours. He doesn't know you're listening to these. Don't tell him.
KentSt.FM acknowledges the generous support of businesses who believe in unlicensed broadcasting and ask no further questions.
