Corby Radio 29-10-23 2100-2200 Juke Box Drive: Robbie Owen interviews Hans Knot on the history of Radio Veronica

[MikeBr]

Robbie Owen's Juke Box Drive In October 29th:

 

"Hans Knot, world renowned radio historian joins us live from the Netherlands to talk about Radio Veronica, which broadcast from he Dutch coast from 1960 to 1974. Hear about the two shios, the first attempts at English Programming, and Tineke, the first female Dj in Holland. Plus tunes from Golden Earrings, The Cata, Raymond Froggatt, David McWilliams, Kiki Dee, and Buffalo Springfield...oh, and even Robbie Dale!"

 

I listened to Radio Veronica starting in 1962/63 so didn't hear CNBC as Robbie thought. Living 3 miles from Whitby on the North Yorkshire coast could receive it all day due to sea path. I remember Tineke's Coffee Time, few lady DJ's then. When I first tuned in and for some time I didn't realise it was broadcasting from a ship. Like Hans I  listened to AFN Bremerhaven, also audible all day. Started listening to them in the late 50's.
