(The Miami, Boston, and New York City metropolitan areas have generally proven to have the greatest concentration of pirate radio activities, as shown in this FCC map:

In 2017, the FCC took more than twice as many actions against pirate broadcasters than it did the year before. Since January 2017, the Commission has fined illegal broadcasters $143,800 and proposed fines totaling $323,688. The Commission also for the first time found property owners apparently liable for actively supporting this illegal activity on their property. These actions have resulted in numerous unlicensed stations ceasing operation.
