An Italian free radio station, broadcasting from Bologna in the late 1970s. Rather than attempting to objectify events in the world, they set out to create a flow of sounds, information, messages and poetry, silences and abuse. Like the manifestations of Dada, transmissions were seen as immediate cultural subversions. Radio Alice’s output covered a myriad of subjects: labor protests, poetry, yoga lessons, political analysis, love declarations, cooking recipes, Jefferson Airplane, Area or Beethoven music.
Radio Alice started transmitting on 9 February 1976 using an ex-military transmitter on a frequency of 100.6 MHz. The station was closed by the Italian military police in March 1977. Radio Alice later resumed broadcasting, for two years and became politically aligned with the autonomism movement. After its second closure, the frequency was givento Radio Radicale by the Italian state.
