Radio Caroline at Sea - The End 

Still going strong on medium Wave 648 - My all day music station!!!!!!!

the captain had the right to shoot the borders... Caroline was in international waters and so that was an act of piracy - - - what an irony

CAROLINE 648AM .. 2018

At least Pirate Radio woke up the BBC and gave it a damn good kick up the arse. Before Pirate Radio the ONLY music teenagers had was Radio Luxembourg and the weekly Top 20 chart countdown with Fluff Freeman on the Light programme.

I want to start an offshore radio station with my freinds playing 60's and 70's music

They played records..Government hated her

what happened was radio caroline was broadcasting outside the law and the goverment of that day broke the law by smashing all the equipment and man handling the staff when she was broadcasting from this ship for over 6 years it is very politcal

@zephy1001 and me too..the bloody stations are rubbish these days

such a shame that Caroline has morfed into a MOR sattelite station with none of the excitement of the offshore days

Radio Caroline is still operational, albeit online now. It's the original 1964 Radio Caroline, but transmitting in a different way. Go to double u double u double u dot radiocaroline dot co dot uk. I listen to it every day.

54 years later Caroline has beaten establishment and is now legal broadcasting to the home of the bbc opcom and the queen on dab+ radio and to western coastal Europe medium wave using the bbc's own equipment from orfordness 648 medium wave

not all laws or government acts are legal...has anyone ever challenged the government on the legality of this law

I am 30 years old I hate been judged as "young People" we are not all the same! I have stood up for my rights and will continue to do so! However you can not always win the system makes sure of that from employment Tribunals to standing up to the law! I was in court and said to the Judge sorry I did this because I was hard up then a slap on the wrist, if I then said I did this because I think the law is wrong I would be sent to prison

just asking why?. What was wrong with what they were doing?

Was a great great great idea of its time and I listened along with most of that nation ('Caroline the sound of the nation') as the establishment hadn't moved with the times.. Trouble is it wouldn't work that well today. The music today (a lot of it is worse than the bubblegum pop stuff that was on Caroline) is different and fragmented. There is still a need for good radio today but tastes mature and we all grow.... I am going to check out Radio Caroline via the web though.

@lesthepost of course they can, thats what makes them government.. they see something they don't like, the create a law to make it illegal. and that still happens today.

@john111257 i'll agree with you there i have found one good station in the last year and that station is overrun with football nowadays what ever happened to the good old music stations that played decent music and all the modern rubbish

I think any goverment would have you sectioned if you tried, I have tried to take companys I have worked for to court when the law was broken and you never win money talks

I agree..radio is dead in england
