Overview

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Radio 270 was a pirate radio station serving Yorkshire and the North East of England from 1966 to 1967. It broadcast from a converted Dutch lugger called Ocean 7 positioned in international waters off Scarborough, North Yorkshire. In the 1960s the BBC enjoyed a statutory monopoly on radio in the UK. At that time the BBC broadcast little more than 2 hours per week of recorded popular music, a limit partly determined by the high level of royalties charged by record companies for airplay. From 1964 onwards a number of pirate radio stations opened up, broadcasting from ships and coastal forts located around the UK but outside the 3 mile limit of British territorial waters. These pirate stations were not subject to British law in respect of both broadcasting rights and royalty payments. Most of them broadcast continuous recorded pop music and they funded themselves with advertising and sponsorship revenues.
