Radio Caroline hope to be on the Sky EPG soon.
 

Will this encourage many to listen do you think?

I think the anoraks, are already hand cranking the frequency and the rest
pobably aren't bothered.

I hope I'm wrong, they do have a great heritage, but I think the programs
now are too variable.

It will depend on the programming.
If it is like the era that the 2 orginal Caroline boats used to play then
the people who listened way back then could well in tune in.
But if it is 'up to date' and sounding like the other stations of today
then no.

....and regrettably the only bloke who played music that isn't played
elsewhere got laid to rest last week.

Only if Radio Caroline could find time for a good sprinkling of the *really*
unusual and new would they find a market of sufficient size to pull
listeners to them in serious numbers.

A great shame, as they virtually started offshore radio and established the
format that has become so outdated now.

They started more than that. They started the chain of events that led to the
abandonement of "needle time" restrictions on radio, and the BBC being able to
broadcast the pop music records that young people were actually listening to,
instead of dance band music from the previous decade. This same chain of events
also led to the BBC renaming their three radio channels, the "Home Service",
the "Light Programme", and the "Third Programme", giving them numbers instead,
and adding a fourth one just for the pop music that they hadn't previously
catered for at all.
