Radio Caroline mistakenly announced the British king's passing on Tuesday, when they said a computer error triggered their "Death of a Monarch procedure."
Station Manager Peter Moore said in a social media statement that the announcement -- and the following moment of silence -- was activated by accident.
The station apologized to the King for mistakenly saying he kicked it, and to listeners for the shocking false alert.
Moore wrote ... "Caroline has been pleased to broadcast Her Majesty the Queen's, and now the King's, Christmas Message and we hope to do so for many years to come."
He added the blunder went down Tuesday afternoon ... and you can see on their website that there's no playback available for Tuesday's broadcast between 1:58 PM and 5 PM.
And as for His Majesty ... he and Queen Camilla have been in Belfast for the past couple of days.
