Merseyland Alternative Radio

Merseyland Alternative Radio (MAR) was a UK-based unlicensed pirate radio station that operated intermittently from the 1970s. It primarily broadcast to the Merseyside area and was known for playing alternative and rock music, appealing to listeners who sought content not typically available on mainstream stations. The station transmitted on AM frequencies and was operated by enthusiasts, often changing locations to evade authorities. MAR gained a loyal following due to its niche programming and underground status.
