Hot 92 (pirate radio station)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hot 92 is a pirate radio station in Birmingham, England, which in October 2005, along with another local pirate station and a black interest website, reported rumours that a black girl was raped by a group of Asian men. This allegedly caused riots in the Lozells area of Birmingham, leaving at least one person dead and 35 people injured.[1][2]
In November 2005, Leon Williams, then 26, pleaded guilty to charges related to helping to run an illegal broadcasting station.[3]
In January 2008, one of the people associated with the station, Ernest Uriah Griffiths, was convicted of two charges of unauthorised broadcasting.[4]
By 2022, the website was shut down.
