Radio Caroline Broadcasts Royal Misstep | UK News

Radio Caroline, the iconic offshore pirate station, accidentally broadcast a fake death announcement for King Charles III during a live show—triggered by a staff member’s curious computer experiment. The error, involving pre-recorded royal protocol files, went unnoticed until it aired, causing panic and a 16-minute silence before a delayed apology. Ofcom labeled it a “significant inaccuracy,” while Radio Caroline blamed a rogue system glitch, reprimanded the staffer, and removed the files. A historic station with deep roots in rock ‘n’ roll now faces scrutiny over its biggest blunder yet. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
