About Me.

I've worked in the radio industry for over 30 years now. It's a career that has seen me broadcasting in many different parts of the UK as everything from a humble Presenter, if there is such an animal, to being in charge of entire radio stations as Programme Controller. It's a long story with many happy memories and many former colleagues whom it was a pleasure to work alongside.

Cliff Osbourne is the name I've used during just part of my, not uneventful, career. It is those times that this website is all about and some of you reading this will no doubt know who I really am! Whether you're a hardened 'anorak' or just have a passing interest in the history of radio in the UK, hopefully you will find something in these pages to keep your mouse active.

Specifically you will find information and memories from my early days on hospital radio in south east London, tales of  Sundays spent in damp fields as part of my involvement in the London land based 'pirate' radio scene in the 1970's, the story of a cable radio station in the London Borough of Greenwich and a section about my stint on the north sea with the legendary Radio Caroline in the late 1970's.

You may be interested to know, if you don't already, that Radio Caroline continues to this day. You can hear me weekday mornings from 9 to 10 and on Friday nights between 9 and midnight. Radio Caroline can be found on Sky, channel 0199, or on the internet. For more information click on the 'Rado Caroline' link above left.

In the meantime this site remains under construction and I will add to it as often as time permits. If you would like to get in touch please feel free to e-mail me. cliff@cliffosbourne.co.uk
