When he wasn't spinning the hits on WMCA, Jack Spector was rockin' the box on Radio Caroline.
Listeners of Radio Caroline - a pirate station operating on a ship off the shores of England - got a weekly dose of the hits in the U.S. via one of WMCA's most popular jocks. Spector - one of the original WMCA "Good Guys" in 1961 - would record a special show in New York for broadcast on Radio Caroline. They were aired about a week after transmission.

INamed
after President Kennedy's daughter Caroline,
Radio Caroline was founded in 1964 to get around record companies' control of hit parade
music broadcasting in the U.K. and the monopoly of the BBC.While
technically a "pirate" station, it was legal as it broadcast from ships in
international waters. The British goverment outlawed Radio Caroline and
other offshore stations in 1967, but they simply moved to other locations. Radio Caroline continues to this day on the Internet. |
