Hi everyone.
Today I watched the ITV show `Tipping Point`. Contestants are asked questions and if they answer correctly they can roll a disk down a slide for money.
Sounds interesting ? yeah

So one of the questions asked was `Name The First 60s Pirate Radio Station Broadcasting From A ship`
None of the contestants knew the answer, they each looked at each other and shrugged there shoulders.
They wasn't exactly young people who was asked. When told the answer one of the people laughed and said `Ive seen the movie Radio Rock.

Is Radio Caroline now just a distant memory.

Maybe naive of me, but I find that quite shocking. Radio Caroline, Radio London (Big L), Swinging Radio England et al played such an important part of our recent cultural history. Have the likes of Heart finally brainwased the general public into acceptance of the ultra bland and erased the memories of what went before?

I think in a way we must understand that some people have never heard about Radio Caroline or its history.
Being just an internet only station its lost among the many tens of thousands of other internet stations around the world.
Also do people actually listen to radio these days ? or is it that they just listen to music they have on a mobile device.
