''[[Radio Free Roscoe]]'' was a Teen Drama that aired between 2003 and 2005 on The-N (now known as [[Teen Nick]]) in the United States and on ''Family'' in Canada. From the co-creator of ''[[The Adventures of Pete and Pete]]'', it was about the exploits of four teenagers who ran and DJ-ed their own [[Buccaneer Broadcaster|pirate radio]] station in response to Cougar Radio, their school's radio station:
 
* Ray Brennan ("Pronto") - An easygoing jokester, who has been in love with Lily since they were kids.
Line 11:
The show ran two seasons of 26 episodes, and never quite touched the popularity of The-N's top show, ''[[Degrassi the Next Generation]]''. It is still a pretty good alternative as it's not as melodramatic (though can get preachy at times).

'''Principal Waller''': Yeah, I know. It was four words. }}
