Happy Birthday Radio Caroline

Fifty years ago  tomorrow marks the day Radio Caroline took the airwaves with regular programmes, and changed British radio forever. There's been quite a lot written and on the radio about the anniversary but very little on the TV. I thought we might have even got a documentary. But it seems not to be.

But ITV's Meridian service in the south of England has done an eight minute report on the anniversary. Here's the link:

Suburban pirate radio station raided

A pirate radio station based from a suburban terrace in Stonecot [Sutton, Surrey] was shut down in a raid this morning (Tuesday). Police and officers from communications regulator Ofcom swooped on the house in Morley Road today.

They found a PC hooked up to a tool called a link transmitter that allowed users to convert an internet signal into a radio signal. The person who set up the system was using the kit to broadcast FM radio via a link to an aerial on the top of Chaucer House in Central Sutton.

It is believed the person who set up the system was charging DJs to let them broadcast via it. Officers shut down the system and seized the equipment from both the house and the top of Chaucer House. No-one was arrested.

Tune in for tale of pirates - Radio Hauraki

The New Zealand Herald
By Barney McDonald
March 2, 2014
 
With radio stations in New Zealand falling over one another to out-shock, out-trash and out-rate each other, it's nice to remember that once upon a time it wasn't like that. No, I'm not talking about a century ago, before the advent of broadcast radio. I'm referring to the glory days of Radio Hauraki, when a bunch of hard case larrikins took the bull by the horns and launched a pirate radio station to play rock'n'roll instead of state radio's easy-listening pulp.

A new feature film, 3 Mile Limit, by first-time director Craig Newland, celebrates the unlikely heroes of Hauraki, depicting the genesis of a crazy idea and the antics that ensured it didn't just remain on the mixing board or get washed out to sea. On a broader scale, it's a joyful "kicking against the pricks" , "she' ll be right, mate", "number eight wire", "all for one, one for all" tale of triumph over mediocrity. But at its heart, "3 Mile Limit" is about the lengths Richard Davis (Matt Whelan) will go to establish his illegal station and the limits of his wife Judy's (Belinda Crawley) patience as he drives them out of house and home to fund his dream.
