Since 1981, Negativland’s live mix, audio collage radio show, “Over The Edge,” has aired weekly for 3 hours at midnight, each Thursday on KPFA 94.1FM in Berkeley, California. There is no show on the first Thursday of the month, and in the case of a 5th Thursday, a 5-hour show is broadcast.

OTE’s themed mixes are made live and spontaneously on the air from a variety of formats and equipment. There is a plan and there is no plan. The mix consists of found sound of many kinds and from many sources put together on the run as the continuous audio collage progresses.

OTE sometimes employs Receptacle Programming which means you. Phone callers are punched into our mix with no warning. Call 510-848-4425 to deposit your programming. When your phone stops ringing, you’re on the air. Don’t say “hello” - just begin.

A 10 to 15 second delay is occurring between our live broadcast and your radio or computer, which makes it difficult to interact with our show “live” on the phone. Turn down your radio/computer and only listen to our real time mix in your phone when calling the broadcast. (Only the little speaker in your phone is getting the show to you at the speed of light.) If you listen to anything else, you will sound drunk. When your phone stops ringing, you’re on the air and in the mix.
