Pirate Radio is a radio station in Appalachia featuring various pieces of pre-War music, advertisements and radio plays.

The station has no overarching DJ, though automated voices sometimes transition between the programs. The music featured on the station is derived from various sources, including muzak from the Atomic Shop, unique quest music, jukeboxes and the advertisements themselves. The radio plays are all related to the in-game seasons.

It is currently the only radio station in Fallout 76 that is continually updated with new programs.

Main article: Pirate Radio/Advertisements

Pirate Radio features 21 advertisements for various pre-War brands, many of which contain tongue-in-cheek humor concerning the world before the bombs. The Once in a Blue Moon update also added seven new movie trailers, for a total of 28 ads. For a list of all advertisements and their transcriptions, see here.

Pirate Radio, along with the other two full-range radio stations (Appalachia Radio and Classical Radio) can be listened to in The Pitt and Atlantic City, despite their distance from Appalachia.

Pirate Radio appears in Fallout 76, introduced in the Night of the Moth update. More content was added in subsequent updates.

Dave Fennoy provided voiceover for many of the advertisements on Pirate Radio, including the generic "word from our sponsors" voice, Appalachian Antiques, Grognak the Barbarian, Roborilla Goes to Washington, Salisbury Steak, Slocum's Joe, Sonic Squire, Sugar Bombs, Uncanny Caverns, and WonderGlue.
Neil Kaplan provided voiceover for Pirate Radio advertisements as well, in addition to his role as Dr. Zorbo. His other voices include Captain Cosmos, Dr. Huckabee from Rad-X, Jim from Sonic Squire, Mortimer from Appalachian Antiques, and the old man in the Palace of the Winding Path advertisement.
Julie Nathanson also contributed to the voiceover of Pirate Radio advertisements, including Felicity Frost from Appalachia Freeze, Stella Skyfire, and the main Palace of the Winding Path narrator.
Ray Chase voiced the Fancy Lad mascot, the Slocum's Joe Dough-Boy mascot, and the young man in the Palace of the Winding Path advertisement.
The radio advertisement for Appalachian Antiques incorrectly states the store is north of Fort Defiance, its post-War name, instead of Allegheny Asylum, its pre-War name.
SkyBox Labs developer Ryan White was a writer for the movie trailers added to Pirate Radio with the Once in a Blue Moon update.^{[Non-game 1]}

↑ Ryan White on LinkedIn: "Outside of lead responsibilities, I've also been keeping up with my writing for the project. I've previously posted about Rip Daring's adventures, but I've also had the opportunity to write a lot more, like B-movie radio ads, quips from an underqualified baking machine, and numerous non-linear allies for the players to talk to.
I'm especially proud of the allies, as they've all become fan favorites and resonate with players for different reasons. Steven Scarberry is a passionate priest who is beginning to question his faith as he has not seen his deity, the local cryptid known as Mothman. Grandma Junko is a sweet and caring old lady who seems out of time, as she is either oblivious to the state of the world or refuses to acknowledge it for some reason. And most recently Adelaide, a weapon of mass destruction that was reprogrammed into a showgirl who sings show tunes.
It's an incredible feeling seeing the fan responses since I got to take these characters all the way from planning, to recording, to implementation. All of this is something I'll never get tired of, and I look forward to posting more updates on my work when I can."
