Wikipedia keeps deleting the content of our entry. Here's the deleted content.

 So, Wikipedia keeps deleting our postings about KBFR and it's history. Apparently, they can't 'verify' anything, which, is kind of the POINT of Pirate Radio, but whatever. Here's what they deleted: KBFR  ( pirate   radio ) KBFR  ( 95 . 3   FM )  was   a   pirate  ( unlicensed ,  underground )  radio   station   also   known   as   Boulder   Free   Radio ,  based   in   Boulder ,  Colorado .  After   a   brief   revival   in   2006   followed   by   an   FCC   crackdown ,  it   appears   that   the   station   is   off   the   air   for   good .
