KBFR (95.3 FM), also known as Boulder Free Radio, was a pirate radio (unlicensed, underground) station broadcasting from Boulder, Colorado, United States.

History

[edit]

Boulder Free Radio operated from March 2000 to January 2005 at 95.3 FM. Its power is similar to an LPFM station, approx 150 watts.

KBFR was founded by a pirate radio operator calling himself Monk.[1] Monk still maintains an occasionally updated blog about KBFR and pirate radio called Courage, Truth & Booty.
