Live at the Wireless is a radio show, and now a long standing tradition, of Triple J, an Australianradio station. Live music is one of the central philosophies of the station.
The live broadcasts take a number of forms. Some broadcasts are from open air concerts and festivals, or smaller pub gigs around the country. Many are bands that have been invited into the Triple J studios to play a live set of tracks, usually acoustic. Occasionally, Triple J will give away tickets to listeners, to allow them to be a part of a special live performance in a secret location.

All of the live broadcasts are recorded, and the station has released several double-CD compilations of live tracks. Many complete live sets are traded by music fans worldwide over the internet.
Live music is not exclusive to the Live at the Wireless segment - many other shows, including the speciality music shows, also have bands playing acoustic in the studio.
Ash have released their Live at the Wireless set from 1996 as an album - see Live at the Wireless (Ash album).

The rules established by the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) are quite specific: in the U.S., unless youre a broadcaster and have a wireless license, or unless you operate on the eight 169 MHz to 171 MHz traveling frequencies and have a different kind of license, youre technically illegal.
Unless, that is, unlicensed wireless operation causes interference to public safety agencies, licensed wireless users or the TV-viewing public.
To help avoid interference, FCC rules require that a wireless not be used within 70 miles (113 km) of a transmitter on the same channel.
