Negativland continues to put out various edited versions of Over The Edge broadcasts as commercial releases available in record stores and through our mailorder service (Negativmailorderland). These commercial releases are highly edited versions of what O.T.E. is actually like as a continuous live radio mix. Listeners to those edited releases, and others, may wonder what this show sounds like when you tune in to the whole thing here in the Bay Area. So find out! Negativland will make cassette dubs of complete O.T.E. broadcasts and mail them directly to you. It's almost like living here!

You will receive real-time dubs on high quality cassettes. (two 90's for 3 hour shows, three100's for 5 hour shows). Every O.T.E. broadcast is based around a different concept or theme. We continue to scour our 13 year history for the best of O.T.E. Unfortunately, many of our earlier programs (up to about '86) only exist in fragmented excerpts.

A note of caution: These complete broadcasts are unedited, just as they happened, with all the brilliance and glitches involved in spontaneous, improvised, on-air mixes such as these. (They are also interesting for this reason, and will give you a new insight into seat-of-the-pants broadcasting)

Only some of the shows have involved the entire Negativland group. Beyond these, there are many broadcasts which are solo efforts by Negativland member, Don Joyce. Don is the official FCC license holder and responsible for filling the radio slot each week. Some shows also involve others outside our group who participate semi-regularly. Although duds do occur, we wont send you one. All in all, if you like Negativland, you will like any of these shows, no matter who is involved. They all maintain the "Negativ" touch based on our live mix techniques and show constants like "receptacle programming" which is undelayed and unscreened live phone access to our mix as it's happening. (You too, can call at 510-848 4425).

Over The Edge broadcasts live from KPFA fm in Berkeley, California every Thursday night at midnight. O.T.E. normally runs 3 hours weekly, but becomes a 5 hour show on the fifth Thursday, (if there is one) of the month. O.T.E. is not on the first Thursday of each month. These are the mysteries of non-commercial scheduling. KPFA is commercial free and listener supported (Virtually no corporate underwriting). KPFA is the flagship (original) station in the Pacifica Network- WBAI in N.Y.C., KPFK in L.A., KPFT in Houston, and WPFW in Washington, D.C. O.T.E has appeared on KPFA without interruption since 1981.
