The Pit FM
The Pit FM was a 24/7 Australian Internet radio station based in Perth, Western Australia, that specialised in punk, hardcore punk, post-hardcore, heavy metal and alternative rock music. History
The Pit FM was started in an apartment in Northbridge by a group of Australian "punks" and "metalheads". The station moved from Northbridge to Midland in late 2011 to expand its on-site operations, offering a variety of genre-specific request and news programmes directed at the local punk community and listeners on the Internet. The Pit FM also played an integral part in promoting both the Never Say Die Suicide Prevention Fundraiser and the East Africa Fundraising Gig. It was listed as an ally of Mannequin Republic and a member of Euromusic. On 2 September 2012, the PitFM ceased broadcasting. The Pit FM crew
