FROM HAMBURG TO THE WORLD.
FOUNDED IN 1977.
Radio Sylvia started as a pirate in 1977. We stand for free and alternative radio - around the clock, around the world.
AGAINST THE MAINSTREAM.
AGAINST THE NORM.
We don't care for the omnipresent commercial rubbish. We focus on Punk, Metal and Alternative.
RADIO AND ROCK MUSIC.
OUR PASSIONS.
We are a dedicated team of long-time radio and music enthusiasts hailing from Germany, the UK and the USA.
ON AIR: ----
Queens of Noise
We have a new programme on Radio Sylvia: "Queens of Noise" - that's two hours of jam-packed woman power. Tune in on every Sunday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. CET!
Radiorandale
As our previous "Studio North" is no longer available, we will suspend the "Radiorandale". Instead we'll introduce a new programme schedule for the 1st Saturday of the month (details will follow shortly). The shortwave broadcast times remain unchanged.
Radio Sylvia broadcasts 24/7 on three streams. Additionally we are active on shortwave. On our "Listen Live" page you can see in detail how to receive Radio Sylvia.
A tip for the technically minded: This website displays the state of our streaming, homepage and shop servers.

We are getting lots of submissions and enquiries from bands and artists, who would like to be played on Radio Sylvia. We listen to your music and add it to our playlist if we like it and it matches our format. But due to time constraints, we cannot reply to every enquiry. Thanks for your understanding!
Radio Sylvia is run by a dedicated team of long-time radio and music enthusiasts and can look back on an eventful history. After its foundation in July 1977, the station was on the air as a pirate for many years on FM as well as long, medium and shortwave. In January 2009 we returned and are now broadcasting legally from our studios in Hamburg via internet and shortwave.
Our aim has always been (and still is today) to provide a musical alternative to the omnipresent musical mishmash. Details about our music format can be found here.
