When the pirate operator Oliver Smedley shot and killed his rival
Reg Calvert in Smedley s country cottage on June 21, 1966, it was a
turning point for the outlaw radio stations dotting the coastal
waters of England. Situated on ships and offshore forts like
Shivering Sands, these stations blasted away at the high-minded BBC
s broadcast monopoly with the new beats of the Stones and DJs like
Screaming Lord Sutch. For free-market ideologues like Smedley, the
pirate stations were entrepreneurial efforts to undermine the
growing British welfare state as embodied by the BBC. The worlds of
high table and underground collide in this riveting history."
