Radio Caroline has very interesting history. It was launched in 1964 by Ronan O’Rahilly as an alternative to mainstream radio stations and a protest against the monopoly of record companies who controlled all popular radio stations. This was an offshore pirate radio as Ronan didn’t obtain any license. His first studio was based on a 702-ton passenger ferry and he broadcasted from international waters.

Enjoying the show! Ran across Caroline on 648 on a web radio in Germany. Liked the music enough to switch to your website. I'm in East Tennessee USA.

Geweldige muziek. Iedere ochtend goed te ontvangen in de auto op weg naar mijn werk in Amsterdam. De vergeten pareltjes uit de sixties en seventies zijn mijn favoriet.

Good morning! I can dig it to the max! A mean motor scooter and a bad go getter. Crazy Man! It's the Ginchiest dude on the Block. I dig it to the end. I mean "rock around the clock" and all that jazz. You know what I mean? I'm a real gone cat and dig it to the max! And that's a fact Jack!

Thoroughly enjoying the playlist of the person from Norwich. We’re listening whilst enjoying our Sunday morning cuppa here in north east Norfolk, not too far from Norwich
O’Rahilly gave the name Caroline to his station and his ship after Caroline Kennedy, daughter of the U.S. President. There was a time when this radio station was extremely popular, but it always had semi-legal (and sometimes illegal) status. Radio Caroline changed the ships several times and was sponsored by different people at different periods. People say that at some point even George Harrison funded them.
Currently Radio Caroline broadcasts on 648kHz AM to the east of England and on DAB+ in Aldershot/Woking, Norwich, Portsmouth, Glasgow, Birmingham, Brighton and London. It plays album-oriented rock from the 1960s to the present.
