Several reports from radio engineers posting to the New York Radio Message Board say that "pirate" radio activity in New York City is busier than ever. In Brooklyn, for instance, there are reports of FM stations on 91.9, 94.3, 95.1, 95.9, 96.5, 96.7, 97.5, 99.1, 99.3, 99.7, 99.9, 100.7, 101.5, 102.3, 103.1, 103.9, 104.7, 105.5, 106.1, 106.3, 107.1, and 107.9.

WHUT, the hip hop station on 91.9-FM evenings between 10 p.m. and midnight, is as strong as ever. A Hasidic pirate is allegedly using the 91.9 frequency (heard as far away as Westchester County) much of the rest of the week, and also airing on 1710-AM. Reportedly a station called "Red Hot Radio" is on 102.3, and it and another station on 95.1 are microcasting from E. 35th St. and Avenue H in Brooklyn.

Across the Hudson River from NYC, in Newark, New Jersey, there are reportedly pirates on 96.5 and 99.9.
