Radio Caroline

Radio Caroline is a British radio station that began broadcasting illegally in 1964, originally from ships anchored offshore to avoid government restrictions. It played popular music and provided an alternative to the BBC, influencing modern commercial radio. Over time, it gained legal status and became a prominent independent station, known for its vibrant music and unique offshore broadcasting approach. Today, Radio Caroline operates as an independent media organization, continuing online and on some FM frequencies, maintaining its legacy of pioneering free and alternative radio broadcasting in the UK.
