Perhaps they think helping Caroline, might endanger their current employment?
I'm just very pleased that enough chaps & ladies, both in front & more important, behind the scenes - give their time & talents, to keeping the Ross, the internet & broadcast side - working.
Will this all still be happening in another 10 years, I ask?
That’s a good question and I’m not sure what I was expecting. Obviously I was aware that Walker and Blackburn weren’t coming but I had hoped for some surprises, I think also I was expecting special programs on the main channel and Flashback, the 60th celebration isn’t even mentioned on the Flashback site.
In what sense "Underwhelming" Condor?
Were you expecting Walker or Blackburn to do programmes?
What would you suggest any different?
Cheers.
Details are now on the website but I must admit they seem a little underwhelming, and also seem restricted to just Caroline North, unless I’m missing something!
The most important thing for me, is that Caroline still exists after 60 years - the dedicated people running it, do it for their love of it - not for money.
Some people have written books about their time with offshore radio - they probably see this as an opportunity to sell some more copies of their books
Quite ironic that there are loads of mentions for Boom Radio and the BBC, but nothing about what Caroline are doing. Says a lot!
Radio London website now has a webpage on events/broadcasts over Easter celebrating the 60th anniversary of Radio Caroline's first broadcast.
