Remember the start of Radio Caroline , it was the start of a radio revolution, other than Radio Luxembourg we had never heard anything thing like it,. Still have never heard anything better since then!!!

The pirate ships came about because Britain was undergoing a major pop/rock music revolution in the mid-1960's, and the BBC had a monopoly on radio broadcasting with only a few hours a week of pop/rock music. There was a demand for the music, hence the pirate radio ships. Had the BBC decided to launch Radio One in 1963 instead of 1967, the pirate radio ships might not have even come into existence, or at the very least, there would have been far fewer of them.

Hindsight is great. Unfortunately the BBC didn't have any. Narrow minded and totally oblivious to what teenagers of that era wanted.

It's a poor day when you don't learn something new! I didn't know that Oliver Smedley was part of the Alan Crawford consortium. In June 1966 Oliver Smedley's out of work dockers boarded the Shivering Sands fort where Radio City was broadcasting from. They took the transmitter which was destined to be used by Radio Caroline on the fort. The owner of Radio City, Reg Calvert, went OS's house, but was shot and killed. This signaled the end of the Pirates, and gave the Govt the excuse they needed.
