They called him in the studio and told him to shut it off.  He, of course, ignored them.  But they got the transmitter (which was on the opposite end of Boulder in the back yard of a house).  He was streaming live over the internet to the Studio Transmitter Link (for details on this, see Wikipedia:    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KBFR  ).

Final Show on KBFR before forever going dark.

Some History:

KBFR, also known as Boulder Free Radio, was started in Boulder, Colorado in the Spring of 2000.  It was set up by a fellow who calls himself Monk.  He tried to get a legal LPFM license and was shut out by actions of the NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) and NPR (National Public Radio) who bought themselves a couple of senators and killed the LPFM (Low Power FM) licensing process.  He'd already ordered the equipment and when it arrived, and he was shut out of getting a license to operate it, he had a choice: Sell it on eBay, or put up an antenna and turn it on anyway.  He turned it on.

It was an underground, unlicensed pirate radio station running at 95.3FM with 150 watts of power.  At it's peak, it had 50 DJ's and ran the most technically advanced pirate radio operation on the planet.  It dodged and it weaved when the FCC tried to shut them down.  It used van's to be mobile. It broadcast from the sides of mountains.  It used the internet and remote studio transmitter links seperating the studio from the the transmitter via internet streaming.  It used computers and a huge library of music (almost a full Terabyte) on a studio server to play the most diverse music heard on the airwaves in Colorado.

It had lots of tricks to stay on the run, underground and on the air.  KBFR ran until Jan of 2005 when the FCC got serious and pulled some questionably legal stunts convincing the KBFR folks that they were going to do whatever it took, including breaking the law, harrassing private citizens unconnected with the station, 'talking' to suspected DJ's bosses suggesting they were breaking the law and leaving 'warnings' at suspected DJ's houses that had no transmitters, and no grounds for suspition of operating a pirate station.  All done with no proof and no grounds for the actions they took.  Pure nazi intimidation tactics.  Unfortunately, it worked.

It became clear KBFR had run it's course and the feds where getting nasty, so we shut it down.

Luckly, we recorded many of the bands that came through the studio and played live shows on the air.  Here is our archive of these shows.  Pure, raw, uncut and in their original form.  REAL pirate radio for REAL people the world over.
