Radio rebels go straight: Pirates get a licence - Katie Spencer reports

On August 14th 1967, the Marine Broadcasting Offences Act was introduced to stop pirate radio and Radio Caroline was its main target.
But now, 50 years later, radio's rebels are officially going straight - Ofcom has granted the station its first full-time AM broadcast licence.
Back in the 1960s, Radio Caroline was among those stations being illegally broadcast on medium-wave frequencies from ships off the UK coast.
To get Caroline on air a 150ft antenna mast was mounted to a Dutch trawler with one goal in mind - to play pop music all day.
Katie Spencer spoke to some of Caroline's DJ's and the station manager and also visits a current pirate station, Wax FM in London to see how the spirit of pirate radio continues.
