SAVE Planet RockForum Discussion for SAVE Planet Rock 123456789…next ›last » Submitted by Nigel B. on Tue, 05/06/2008 - 08:23
Fabulous station been listening as long as i've had a dab radio, nothing else compares to it. Why let the big boys rule what we can and can't listen to. Todays music bar a minute small number of "bands" will not stand the test of time. Who wants to continually listen to 3minute tracks. Only Planet rock plays 5-6-7-8 minutes on the radio now. Keep planet rock and keep us all sane! Submitted by Janet S. on Mon, 05/05/2008 - 21:54
Just got a DAB radio for my birthday...this is the channel i listen to all the time, so PLEASE SAVE IT. There are many commercial stations out there playing chart rubbish, we need to keep the stations that play great music..Planet Rock is such a station.

Planet Rock is essential to us Heavy Rock/Metal fans around the world,ran by people who love our music and keeping us company through the netwaves. Submitted by Debbie R. on Sat, 05/03/2008 - 08:15
Please keep this station, I was so thrilled that Planet Rock was around, when I bought DAB. Great music, where else can we hear music like this, certainly not on ordinary stations... SAVE PLANET ROCK Submitted by Sue H. on Thu, 05/01/2008 - 12:55
At last there is a station that plays great music AND has Rick Wakeman...I thought there was a heaven. DON'T LET THEM DITCH PLANET ROCK!! Submitted by jenni h. on Tue, 04/29/2008 - 07:52
Planet rock is undoubtly the best rock radio station! with the variety of music, top DJ's, guests, interviews and special features it is second to none. Where else can you hear Alice Cooper with his funny facts, or Rick Wakeman with his words of wisdom on all that rocks. SAVE PLANET ROCK! I dont know what I'll do without it.

My only reason for buying a DAB radio was planet rock....it must be saved...every other radio station is cack...PLEASE SAVE PLANET ROCKKKK Submitted by Tarot a. on Sun, 04/27/2008 - 20:53
I was a thejazz listener. When they closed my station down. I was depressed but I thought at least there is still planet rock. What is this BS about closing it as well? DAB is a new technology but no one is giving it a chance. DAB radios are only just getting affordable enough for everyone to get one but the whole reason for having one, good stations is disappearing. Don't take Planet Rock from us, we need it.

if planet rock is disbanded it just shows the continual discrimination shown to independant, creative, progressive media sources, which are constantly under pressure from the New World Order fascists who seem to think they can dictate our every thought, choice and even sources of musical entertainment..

you cant close planet rock, there is no other radio station we want to listen to. Submitted by Dave C. on Mon, 04/21/2008 - 18:52
Planet Rock the main reason that we now have four DAB radios. It's also the trigger for most of my iTunes, Amazon purchases. Dave C Submitted by Steve P. on Mon, 04/21/2008 - 09:08
I only recently discovered Planet Rock. Would be devastated if it now closes Submitted by Vans G. on Sat, 04/19/2008 - 18:41
Greetings from Aruba! Are there any links to hear the radio station on the internet? Submitted by Tim O. on Sat, 04/26/2008 - 23:18
You can listen via the website at: http://www.planetrock.co.uk/default.asp Or you can stream it to an internet radio. Submitted by james t. on Sat, 04/19/2008 - 09:28
just another example of corporate greed over art,shove it gcrap,james taylor(brother of the anorak) Submitted by Andy S. on Tue, 04/15/2008 - 23:05
When I first discovered DAB, Planet Rock was always the station that I tuned into. Just the best music, good entertaining DJs, news and brilliant articles / interviews. If you let Planet Rock go you'll be removing a unique choice of station that just is not available anywhere, leaving many dissapointed listeners. If I had the money I'd buy the station but I'm not that wealthy. Rather than look at the balance sheet, why not think about a more robust marketing programme and tie in with record labels/music retailers and other digital businesses that can help to boost your advertising revenue?? Look, good luck with the project but don't let a **** good thing die. Submitted by Mark J. on Tue, 04/15/2008 - 16:07
The only reason I got a DAB radio was to hear Planet Rock.If Planet Rock closes,what is the point of having a DAB because all the other radio stations are crap,its as simple as that.Planet Rock is the greatest thing ever to happen to radio because it plays the greatest music by far.I have heard rock radio in America & some of it is good but none of what I have heard there is a patch on Planet Rock mainly because they tend to ignore British bands unless they are called Led Zep.If I had the money I would buy it without hesitation so lets hope I win the lottery this week!Planet Rock has to survive for all our sakes.

Like many other I think that the closing of Planet Rock sends a terrible message to the world - that we do not know how to ROCK!!!!!! Submitted by Dave R. on Mon, 04/14/2008 - 13:06
Seems I'm not the only one who bought their DAB radio to pick up Planet Rock. I now have a DAB tuner for the hi-fi, a DAB radio for the bedside and one in the kitchen (which is on Planet Rock as I write - Argent / Hold Your Head Up.....).As one of the jingles said, this is the soundtrack to life for many of us and not just people of a certain age. (OK, I'm 53 and love my seventies rock - who else plays Bells of Berlin by Lone Star?). It would be a crying shame to lose a station that means so much; Radio 1 just doesn't interest me, R2 seems to be R1 from a few years ago, R3 can be obscure, R4 is great if you want war and/or politics, I don't follow sport much so R5 is never on, local radio is cr** and most of the alternatives (available in UK anyway) are VERY poor. Incidently, I love jazz (very hard to find) and metal (Bruce ****inson on R6 seems to have disappeared). HELP! I have an extensive collection of CDs and vinyl so I can play anything at any time, BUT, the beauty of a good radio station, for me anyway, is the spontaneity of hearing a track you'd almost forgotten, along with a bunch of favourites together with the banter of Alice or the worst jokes in the world from Rick W! I could go on and on.........If there's any justice around Planet Rock will survive: if you read this, add your comments please and maybe we can do something good in this increasingly bland, 'product' driven world.

Planet Rock potentially closing is literally one of the saddest things I have ever heard in broadcasting !!!! IT SIMPLY MUST BE SAVED !!!!!!!!!! It's one of the last bastions of defence we have against the production line of ****e we have in Pop Idol, X Factor etc. that seems to pollute the airways on most other stations. I play Planet Rock as loud as possible whenever the opportunity arises - It is quite simply the best radio has to offer in music and entertainment (especially Rick Wakeman on Saturdays ! - one of the highlights of the week !!) Come on Ozzy, Mick, Gary, Slash etc. etc. etc. Do something to help us - YOUR FANS !!! Steve C. Submitted by Col o. on Sat, 04/12/2008 - 13:27
Dab was invented for Planet Rock its the only reason i bought 2 Dab radios and one is the exellent Pure Highway for the car.I listen to the station when ever possible, so come on all you rich rockstars you cant let this radio history die.If i won the lottery today it would be the first thing to do,Save Planet Rock. Submitted by Joe B. on Sat, 04/12/2008 - 11:15
Planet Rock MUST be SAVED! It is simply the best radio station on the air waves, digital AND analogue included. Submitted by Kevin O. on Fri, 04/11/2008 - 21:02
Planet Rock must be saved, it is quite simply the best radio station around, Gcap doesn't deserve to be associated with such a great radio station,all they want is to have the likes of crapital radio, so lets hopefully find a buyer who is passionate about real music and not just after a quick buck. Submitted by Dan Z. on Fri, 04/11/2008 - 16:52
Please! Keep Planet Rock in orbit(good line or what?) Submitted by Mike S. on Fri, 04/11/2008 - 12:27
There is already plenty of manufactured dross on the radio. The biggest selling music mag’s are the likes of Classic Rock, which means there is a market on the radio for rock music, perhaps the station just needs to be marketed better. Many people I know, never know of the station, when I told them about it have purchased DAB radio & are now full time listeners. Loading People... |
