A Look at UK Offshore Radio

Postby Tape Splicer » Wed Aug 01, 2012 9:47 pm

While reading some items about the "Pirate Radio", or should I say "Off-Shore Radio" stations in the English channel, I also did some searching online and came across these "YouTube" items that relate to "Radio London" and 'Radio Caroline".

There must have been a lot of hard work and hardship along with the "fun". I think I would have liked to work there. ... Enjoy these "YouTube' items featuring UK "Off-Shore" radio as it was.

Apparently K-Tel. released a record featuring one of the DJ's and music of "Radio Caroline".

Facebook also has a Pirate Radio link to many pages on the internet.
Just enter Pirate Radio in the Facebook search box and it will get you to the page.
