Radio City

Radio City was a pirate radio which broadcast from the Shivering Sands ex-army fort in the mouth of the river Thames. The owner was Reg Calvert, who had taken over the station Radio Sutch and changed to Radio City. Broadcasts started on 30 september 1964.

Various attempts were undertaken to overtake the radio station and take over. There are also interviews with Radio Caroline, Radio London and on broadcasts from the fort. Here, though, is nothing. The ex-army fort was obviously a coveted place to broadcasting and also much safer than from a ship (a storm). Reg Calvert was killed by a competitor's Major Smedley. After Mrs Calvert also ran the radio station. The broadcasts were stopped on 9 February 1967. Partly because of this murder in pirate circles is the anti-piratenwet in the United Kingdom Express was put to the vote in higher-and House of Commons and operated.
