1980's was utter shite.

I would rate the return of Caroline as the biggest disappointment ever in Radio for me, all the promise and it just turned out right from the start it was just one BIG wet kipper, perhaps it should never have returned, then the good memories of Caroline of the 60's would have been upper in everyone's mind, I only just remember Caroline North, but that was and will remain the Real Caroline and great Radio along with RNI, Laser 558 (Laser Hot Hits was another Caroline 70's/80's failure) and then finally Nova.

I agree. Caroline during the 80s should of had sponsorship from Prozac. It required a cattle prod to try and make it sound alive, my biggest memories of both Caroline and Laser are from the summer of '84. Caroline was tuned into as a back up to Laser on the occassions Laser was off air. In my opinion, they should of swapped ships.

After the demise of Laser and Caroline occupying 558, I found it hard to listen as it gave me bouts of depression and I found myself tuning in to Capitol Radio instead. Laser Hot Hits was a very poor imitation.

For those who wave the Caroline flag and criticize the tribute stations of today for reminising should remember, the Caroline of the 80s was doing exactly the same thing.
