Threatened by this insurrection, the Government pushed through legislation to outlaw the pirates in the form of the Marine Offences Act, with the result that nearly all of them ceased broadcasting when the act became law on August 14 1967 (with the exception of Radio Caroline, which re-moored its ship off the Dutch coast and continued to broadcast as normal). The BBC responded to the listeners who had tired of many years of staid, safe programming by restructuring its three-tier radio channels. The Third Programme was renamed Radio 3 (classical and drama) and the Home Service was now Radio 4 (talks and documentaries), so in effect their programme content remained the same. However, the Light Programme, long a haven of easy listening entertainment, was split into two: Radio 1 (popular music

abstract	Threatened by this insurrection, the Government pushed through legislation to outlaw the pirates in the form of the Marine Offences Act, with the result that nearly all of them ceased broadcasting when the act became law on August 14 1967 (with the exception of Radio Caroline, which re-moored its ship off the Dutch coast and continued to broadcast as normal). The BBC responded to the listeners who had tired of many years of staid, safe programming by restructuring its three-tier radio channels. The Third Programme was renamed Radio 3 (classical and drama) and the Home Service was now Radio 4 (talks and documentaries), so in effect their programme content remained the same. However, the Light Programme, long a haven of easy listening entertainment, was split into two: Radio 1 (popular music) and Radio 2 (easy listening and comedy). The former of these debuted on Saturday 30 September 1967 at 7:00 a.m.: its first DJ was Tony Blackburn, who had previously worked on both Caroline and London, in common with many other of One's starting line-up: Keith Skues, Dave Cash, Kenny Everett and Simon Dee, for example (of the now outlawed pirates, only Johnnie Walker stayed with them as DJ, yet he too would eventually leave for the BBC). BBC Radio 1 is still in existence to this day, having weathered many changes in music policy, budget cuts (initially, there was no increase in money from the licence fee to pay for it) and a variety of controllers who attempted to institute some radical changes, not always successfully. Though he frequently suffered schedule changes and was (at least to begin with) highly critical of the Corporation, Peel stayed in their employment for the remainder of his life, acknowledging that he could not move to commercial radio because they would not be able to do for him what the BBC were doing.
