Radio Caroline is a British radio station that started transmissions on Easter Saturday, 28th March 1964 from a ship anchored in international waters off the coast of Felixstowe, Suffolk, England. It was unlicensed by any government for most of its life and it was labelled a pirate radio station.
Although one of a number of unlicensed radio stations based on ships anchored off Britain, Radio Caroline was the first such station to broadcast all day using the English language. This, together with the station's tenacity in surviving for some 45 years, has established Radio Caroline as a household name for offshore radio.
Radio Caroline continues to broadcast from it’s Maidstone Studio’s (& occasionally from the Ross Revenge) live on Sky, the internet & many FM feeds. Click on the drop down menu to listen live. Please support the campaign to get an am frequency, click the link at the top of the page.
