It was a "pirate" radio station in the 60s, broadcasting from a ship offshore, when the BBC had an official monopoly. But since the 70s, commercial broadcasting licences were issued, and Caroline faded. It turns out it has had an AM licence for the east of England since 2017, and streams online too.
