From pirate legend to legal station
Radio Jackie first took to the air on 19 March 1969 as a pirate station on medium wave. It became so popular that in 1972 a recording of the station was played in the House of Commons, during the debate on the Sound Broadcasting Bill, as an example of what local radio could sound like. Despite huge local protests, the pirate station was closed down on 4 February 1985, when it was South West London's second most popular station. After years of campaigning, Radio Jackie finally returned as a legal station when Radio Jackie Limited took over the Kingston licence, launching on 107.8 FM on 19 October 2003.
