"Then an e-mail came in from Martin Smith, who has left Radio Caroline: �Regretfully I have parted company with Radio Caroline, following a disagreement with Peter Moore, regarding a very personal attack on Nick Barnes and his music, in addition to PM's views on station protocol and policy. Everyone is entitled to their views and have the opportunity to air them publicly, but in my opinion, not to be hysterically abusive. Neither do I tolerate a fickle interpretation of station policies, when none appear to exist or be made available. Presenters amongst themselves have tried to structure a guideline to music and presentation policies, as none had been set in concrete, however, it was made very clear to me that one person and one person alone, subject to interpretation, would decide what music can be played and who appeared on the station. This is despite no physical involvement in these area's at Maidstone in the two years I had spent with Caroline. So sadly, I felt it only right to step down and look at pastures new,
despite being asked to reconsider my resignation. I will miss presenting my Sunday morning dose of Smithies Smooth Sunday Selection and to all of those who regularly participated in correspondence with the programme a big thank you. Martin Smith."
On that webpage you can read PM's response which only proves the level of control he has over the music and anyone on air who tries to deviate from the obscure crap played on air is sacked or has no option but to leave.
You guys continue to support this dull format and they are playing it only to its small number of listeners who are station funders.
The real radio Caroline fans of the real station have mainly moved on to listen elsewhere in total disgust years ago but we will never forget the betrayal. There are a number of us on forums who will never let you forget that the PM Caroline was stolen and is an imposter station. We won't ever shut up about it either until the Real Radio Caroline is back on air.
