André Millard.Rock'n'roll comes to Britain // Beatlemania: Technology, Business, and Teen Culture in Cold War America (англ.). — P. 89. «Radio Luxembourg dramatically increased the profile of rock'n'roll in Europe, and there cannot have been many English schoolboys who had not heard some of it by the end of 1950s.»
Paul Addison, Harriet Jones (редакторы).A Companion to Contemporary Britain: 1939-2000 (англ.). «During the 1950s rock 'n' roll could be heard only by tuning in to the American Forces Network or Radio Luxembourg. At the BBC it was largely ignored as a consequence of 'needle time' restrictions on the broadcasting of recorded music, and officialdom's disdain for a music it deemed crassly commercial. Radio stations specifically geared to a youth audience appeared in Britain only during the early 1960s, with the rise of unlicensed 'prate' stations such as Radio Caroline and Radio London — the BBC finally responding in 1967 with the launch of its own pop music station, Radio One. The younger medium of television responded more swiftly.» Bill Osgerby (редактор).Youth Media (неопр.).
