Punk, noise and improv from Hamburg's left-wing airwaves.
FSK grew out of years of programmes on Hamburg's open channel before a full-time slot on 93.0 FM arrived in 1998, shared by radio groups such as Radio Loretta and Stadtteilradio under one self-run roof. It is non-commercial, paid for by its members, and nobody chases ratings. In 2002 the LIGNA collective, formed inside FSK, sent listeners into Hamburg's main station for the first Radioballett, and a 2003 police search of the studio was later ruled unlawful by the Federal Constitutional Court.
Talk and politics hold most of the day, some of it in Turkish or Portuguese, while the music editors take most evenings and the night. Their shows lean on DIY punk and hardcore, noise, drone and free improvisation from the Radio Gagarin crew, bass and breakbeat nights, dark wave and honky tonk, plus exchange shows from other free radios, and long night mixes fill the small hours.
A counter-public with turntables.
