This is the best news we've heard, since the dark days of 11th Feb 2008, when GCap made their original announcement and quite literally, well over 500,000 loyal listeners heard that THEIR favourite radio station would be shut within 6 weeks.
But now: the people have spoken, a White Knight has come forth as the Peoples Champion and the station has been SAVED....!
Planet Rock is helping to educate my two boys, and my (one) wife on the many virtues of real music. Fingers crossed it's saved in some guise....please...
Planet Rock is the only decent classic rock station I listen to, its on all day at work, and its the only station to play great music from the earlier years.
Planet Rock is the only place where I can here the kind of music I grew up listening to. I love that it involves the listeners in so many different ways, allowing us to pick what gets played. How many other radio stations do that?
For these two reasons alone, amongst mny, many more we cannot let Planet Rock go
Bought a DAB radio last year, actually got 3 now - 1 in kitchen, bedroom and a portable for work. Planet Rock is the only reason I'm glad I did, it's the only channel I listen to.If PL goes, I've got 3 expensive paperweights. Keep Planet Rock please.
If Planet Rock goes we will be gutted....it was the ONLY reason we bought a DAB radio. Outside of Planet Rock the state of British radio for hard rock/metal fans is pretty dire....lets hope Brian May and his team can come up with something... good luck!
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!
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.
If you want to have a go at it,check out Rush's "Spirit of Radio".Maybe then you'll get the point.
For the first time in many years I've listened to a radio station that doesn't make me go and change the music,it's almost exactly like in the case I had a radio station of mine,in my house.Most radio stations today play empty,fast food type music,empty of any interesting content and 100% market oriented (in a massively stupid way).
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
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.
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..
Planet rock is the only DAB radio station , remove planet rock and there may as well be no DAB ,
I listen to planet rock everyday at work , i just cant handle bland music such as radio 1 etc etc ,
you cant close planet rock, there is no other radio station we want to listen to.
my boyfriend takes he's DAB radio to work with him so he can listen to planet rock all day,playing all he's favorite songs is what makes him get through the day! if i could listen to the radio at work i would choose planet rock too. PLANET ROCK IS THE BEES BOLLOCKS!!! life without planet rock would be like a broken pencil...pointless!!!!!! C.J AND SIMON
planet rock llong live forever!
Planet Rock has been SAVED.....

Planet Rock the main reason that we now have four DAB radios. It's also the trigger for most of my iTunes, Amazon purchases.

I only recently discovered Planet Rock. Would be devastated if it now closes
Greetings from Aruba! Are there any links to hear the radio station on the internet?
Attn: Vans G. - You can listen via the website at: http://www.planetrock.co. uk/default.asp
Or you can stream it to an internet radio.
