About: Radio Mi Amigo is named after the legendary radio ship: the MV Mi Amigo, the longest serving pirate radio ship in history. (1958 -1980)
She became most famous as Radio Caroline's ship, but also was home to radio stations 'Radio Nord' (Scandinavia), Radio Atlanta, Radio Seagull, Radio Atlantis, Radio Veronica and of course Radio Mi Amigo, the successful Belgian/Dutch station that started on the ship in 1974.
Many famous DJ's and announcers, such as Johnny Walker, Robbie Dale, Emperor Rosko and Tony Blackburn started their careers out on the MV Mi Amigo. DJ's and crew that served on the ship called her respectfully 'the Old Lady', because she was so gracious and had such turbulent history.
In the seventies she was secretly financially backed by two ex-Beatles: George Harrison and John Lennon.
