Radio Panik

Radio Panik broadcasts on 105.4 FM in Brussels under a banner that doubles as a policy: La radio est ouverte - the radio is open. The collective programmes alternative and underground music beside debate, cultural agenda and radio creations, in French and English.

The week reads like a free-radio manifesto: Indiedrome and Waves for new sounds, Les Carnets tracking the rock, noise and experimental agenda, Onde de choc, a Soundtrack de minuit for people who do not need to sleep to dream, and talk programmes on culture for all - with everything downloadable as podcasts in ogg and mp3.

A chat box runs beside the live player, participation is a site section in its own right, and the 128 kbps MP3 stream on Domained public hosting, complete with geographic icy tags, opens in any web player or radio app without ceremony. Free community web radio - a live listen online, Brussels' permanent Panik.
