Re: Caroline Southampton Support Group
Sad I should know this, but this day 25th June marks 35 years since regular full-time broadcasts of Caroline on 558kHz came to an end. It coincided with the launch of Spectrum also on 558kHz but that was only part of it: I remember Peter Moore warning prior to this on the Caroline Newsline (0836 404558 - hosted by Chris England - remember that?) that simple survival was becoming increasingly difficult. Although Caroline did come back on and off and a month's worth of broadcasts in October to early November, it marked the start of Caroline disappearance from the airwaves as an offshore broadcaster. It's a credit to everyone, Peter included, that we can still listen some 35 years later. Incredible - in a good way.
