Chris B comments: This Act of the British
Parliament came into effect at midnight 14th August 1967. In effect the
new law applied as of the 15th August 1967 when it would be illegal
to broadcast, supply or even listen to any radio station based on the sea
surrounding the the UK. The much loved and popular Radio London a.k.a. Big
L closed down at 3.00pm on the afternoon of 14th August. The final song
played was The Beatles 'A Day In The Life' - a good choice since this song
had been banned by the BBC. Radio London had no such qualms. At the time
this could have been the last opportunity for free thinking people to hear
this song played on the radio...
Remember, this was the summer of love 1967, swinging London, FAB groovy
pop music, soul groovin' and psychedelia. It was bad enough cutting off a
source of music to millions of teenagers, pre-teens and hipsters - but why
choose the middle of summer; the middle of THAT summer?
Radio Caroline continued, but it would not be until the end of September
that the 'replacement' Radio 1 was launched.
Fortunately there would be many of our
favourite Radio London presenters on radio 1...
