In 1926, WJAZ in Chicago, Illinois was accused of being a "pirate" radio station because it had begun transmitting on an unassigned frequency of its own choosing. On February 5, 1926, while litigation with the U.S. government was ongoing, the station broadcast the operetta "The Pirate". For publicity, the engineering staff was photographed wearing pirate outfits in the transmitter room.
