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.

Fantastic station playing a diverse range of (mostly seventies to nineties) music but some new artists too. Virtually no advertising, no news, traffic or daft games. Interesting DJs, a link to the Radio Caroline and Radio Atlantis of the past via Manx Radio, why would I listen to anything else?

Great site, best internet radio station by far. Minimal advertising, a marvellous diversity of music, songs and bands I have never heard before, reassuring to learn there's lots of great music out there, however, great new music won't come and find you on commercial radio stations, you have to get out there and go find it.

Radio Caroline is the best station there is, I've been a regular listener from the very beginning on Easter Sunday in 1964 Slogan of Radio caroline love peace and good music,And that's Caroline i love this Boat, And our friends on this,Barge Greetings from your friend Henk van Zitteren Belgium Border,
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.
