Powerhouse Radio

Powerhouse Radio was a British pirate radio station that operated in London during the 1980s. It primarily focused on reggae, soul, and funk music, catering to an audience that was underrepresented by mainstream broadcasters at the time. The station gained popularity for its commitment to showcasing Black music and culture. Like many pirate stations of the era, Powerhouse Radio faced legal challenges due to its unlicensed broadcasts. Its influence contributed to the eventual expansion of legal urban and Black music programming in the UK.
