Radio Caroline returns to the airwavesBBC News report the first of the
off-shore pirate radio stations is to return to the airwaves.

*Radio Caroline* was founded in 1964 and broadcast from ships until 1991,
when the Ross Revenge was shipwrecked off the Kent coast.

The station continued to exist, and is currently an internet and digital
service.

After a successful application to Ofcom, Radio Caroline has been given the
medium wave frequency of 648kHz - once used by the BBC World Service.

The frequency, once used to relay broadcasts to Eastern Europe, will be
taken over from noon on Friday.

Radio Caroline boss Peter Moore said it was an "ironic twist" to be given
the former BBC frequency.

The station was founded in 1964 to play pop music all day in a time where
broadcasting was dominated by the BBC and pop was played for an hour a week.

Caroline was one of five stations granted a community radio licence by
Ofcom in June

pirate - station under the 1967 Marine Broadcasting Offences Act.
