TV Free Burning Man

  • Closed Topic: Look around, vote and respond but you need an invitation to add
TV Free Burning Man is the first pirate TV station capable of reaching 52 million homes world wide by taking over the airwaves of Current TV. Throughout the week long Burning Man event held in the Black Rock Desert, NV, participants are empowered to take the media messages coming out of Burning Man into their own hands - literally.


Broadcasting in real time, TV Free Burning Man aims to capture the essence of this annual festival dedicated to radical self expression and self reliance through the eyes of those who attend.



Coverage includes multiple pods and video "Postcards from the Playa" that are beamed via satellite from the event each day as well as live, commercial free coverage of the event's signature happening, the burning of the Man.

Emmy® Awards will be presented in 33 categories, including Breaking News, Investigative Reporting, Outstanding Interview, and Best Documentary, among others.

    • A Premature Burning

      The Man is on fire! Most Burners were enjoying the lunar eclipse when people started to notice smoke and flames coming from the infamous Man, positioned in the middle of the Black Rock City. Officials were on site immediately to combat the flames while onlookers cheered "Save the Man". Eventually the fire was put out and the Man was safe once again albeit very badly charred. These first hand accounts shed some light on the fire but more importantly help to describe the indomitable spirit that lies within the people of Burning Man. The Man is on fire! Most Burners were enjoying the lunar eclipse when people started to notice smoke and flames coming from the infamo... more
