Just wondered - actually remembered to "tune in" today. Currently playing the wonderously OTT "Don't Touch Me There" by the Tubes - a song that always brings a smile to my face.

Crikey, are they still around? I thought the old pirate ship had been scrapped back in the 1970's.

Radio Caroline Flashback all the time for me.

Emperor Rosko Johnny Walker et al? Oh yes remember them well. Commercial radio has not come close since

This thread will go over the heads of 80 % of NSCers?

Radio London was pretty good too, back in the day.

Thanks for link.

Interesting when you access it from the States you get a choice of 2 streams (UK and US East) - not sure if you get that in the UK. Both streams have different programming, I guess they tailor it for different audiences

Having read the notes on North American streams it appear it is the same stream but just delayed so you hear the breakfast show at breakfast time on the east Coast of US, but still means you can jump forward 5 hours to see if anything better is playing

For those of us who lived in the Midlands in the sixties:- Radio Caroline North or Radio Caroline South?

Used to love the pirate stations. Totally EXOTIC, all the way down to the ads. I mean, where could you actually BUY Stimarol Chewing Gum? Or Lois Lois Lois (jeans) Fur Girls Und Boyz? Radio Nord Zee International was always my favourite. Couldn't speak a word of Dutch, still can't, but always sounded like a form of strangulated English read by the Muppet Show Swedish Chef.

Not a question I would expect in 2017.

My answer is "No". V rarely listen to any Radio stations - prefer to programme my own music. Push me in a corner and I might admit to listening to a bit of BBC 6 Music from time to time.

Commercial radio stations do my head in. Really dislike radio ads and most DJ banter

I agree with this but I do listen to BBC5live, talkRADIO and LBC.

Does it still fade in and out?

That was more Radio Luxembourg wasn't it?

I think you're probably right. It was 40 odd years ago. I forget these things

Used to listen to Laser 558 when I traveled up from Brighton to Gatwlck Airport - signal was always strong at Gatwick and faded when you got nearer to Brighton. Happy days.

Even though a DAB station, does its best to create the same spirit as in the old days
Like the fact that it is an Album station...so interesting choice of music

Yeah that was Luxembourg on 208

I've been listening to Caroline since the 60's, my daughters middle name is Caroline.

Caroline original and best, Caroline continues.

Yes, I'm a Pirate Radio geek! =o)
