Some believe that the term "pirate radio" originated with the stations off Scandinavia, Holland and England in the 1960s - not so! Steve Beddard reports.

I have just updated the Pirate Radio Hall of Fame web site, as I do on the last day of every month. This month's update is a bit different.

 Have just checked this and it is mentioned now - must have been late with the listings The appalling Pop Quiz is on from 4.00 p.m. til 5.00 and then "Pirate Radio Night" is running til 8.30p.m.

I was looking on the Sky EPG this evening. I went to Red TV and selected Thursday however on Thursday evening it would appear that they are just broadcasting normal programmes.

I think pirate radio does a heck of a lot more now than it ever did.

Quoting a previous Steve Martin contribution:- I look at it like this: Pirate radio that doesn't interfere is more or less left alone and allowed to flourish.

2008/​8/​15 Sterling Times <2@slewis.biz> I have them from about 5.15 on DVD and Sky+ Me too - weird!! That was Ronan, I believe ! From the video 'A day in the life of Radio Caroline'.

Geoff Rogers 16 August 2008 00:08

I too lost all of the recordings. Shame! I did see the Charlie Wolf film live. I also saw the end of the previous film about Caroline with a grey haired man talking a lot of codswallop.

Sterling Times 15 August 2008 08:42

The start time was changed from five o'clock to four thirty and screwed up all subsequent Sky+ recordings - I was out and recorded nothing! Caught the end of C Wolf!

Jim Spink 14 August 2008 23:47

This was very odd.

Geoff Rogers 14 August 2008 23:20

Quoting a previous Martin Rosen contribution:- Nah. It's what radio used to be about. Radio has no purpose this century. Yes. That's even worse. It's music from dead people.

Yeh, you !! You ought to give it a listen and hear what radio is all about ! (BTW Does your dislike of oldies go as far as classical music?!)

Quoting a previous Martin Rosen contribution:- You mean me? Nope. I've not listened even once. Not my cuppa tea.

Christopher England 12 August 2007 20:00

Definately agree with Christopher that it is sad that all the main commercial stations sound basically the same. It's the same safe mix of the same 200 or so tracks from the 80's , 90's and today.

It does seem incredible that pirate radio is still so big in the uk. Is it time that Ofcom looked at having a small number of frequencies available for licence-exempt low power broadcasting?

Simon Crees 25 November 2008 19:24

To add to my earlier reply Ofcom estimates that on average 15% of Londoners listen into pirate stations. In some boroughs this is considerably higher.
