Planet Rock is consistently the best music station on DAB in the UK. It's reminded me of old classics, introduced me to a few I didn't know, and cured my long standing desire to jump from station to station. Don't let it go, please. Tim Bean |

Long life to the best radio station on the web! The kids hate it as "dad listens too load", so that's good. Don't think I have heard a such a good playlist on the radio. No better hosts anywhere else. Keep it live, PLEASE! |

Planet Rock is a great station playing music that by and large was made great by British bands. It has a passionate support and must be saved. |

save planet rock the only place for good rock on the radio |
| Simon G. Fri, 02/15/2008 20:51 |
Come on people. DAB radio's were rather expensive for a while there but they have come right in price in the last couple of months. This station replaces the record collections of all of us out there who know what a record collection actually is! As Mr Costner once said, "Build it and they will come". Keep the faith, don't close the station. Simon G |

What the hell is going on? It takes me ages to find a decent music station, I play it whenever I am at work, home, traveling, AWAKE! The next thing I know the thing is being axed - wake up all the suits in charge - don't do it |

Close the UK's best radio station????? Are you mad???? Phil S Bedfordshire |
| Andy M. Fri, 02/15/2008 19:23 |
Planet Rock is my mainstay on the radio. Please please keep it on air, surely the best radio station playing the best kind of music can't be in trouble?! What is the world coming to? Long live rock 'n roll Andy The Mad One |

Fingers, toes, knees and elbows crossed here fellas, hopeful thoughts coming your way. |
| Martin J. Fri, 02/15/2008 18:58 |
Might as well throw the D.A.B out if Planet Rock goes off Air. Come on guy's, see some sense and keep this station going for the real Rock Generation. |
| Mark G. Fri, 02/15/2008 18:50 |
Please don't let our ONLY rock radio station die. Our great country have given the world some of the biggest rock bands on the planet - Led Zeppelin, The Who, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, The Pistols, The Clash. The list is endless, the Rock Music genre is huge, and there are no other radio stations serving this genre of music, please make Planet Rock survive on DAB. |
| billy b. Fri, 02/15/2008 18:40 |
I don`t want my MTV, I want my Planet Rock |
| Roy K. Fri, 02/15/2008 18:35 |
Just behave yourselves and leave planet rock alone. It's the only station I listen to when I lock myself away in the shed cleaning my motorcycle. If you take it off the air, you will be directly responsible for all the dirty motorcycles on the planet. I also listen to it online late at night when my bike is clean and I surf the internet. |
| Christopher H. Fri, 02/15/2008 18:35 |
Dont close Planet Rock! I believe it is the best Rock station on the planet!! |
| Tina S. Fri, 02/15/2008 18:02 |
I also purchased my DAB radio just to listen to Planet Rock. Take note a rock audience is a loyal audience and life long members. Our children need this, or we will end up with a nation of mindless music morons who listen to accountant music! Now do we really want to submit our children to that? |
| Niall C. Fri, 02/15/2008 17:50 |
GCAP need to remember that the generation that has grown up with classic rock - and is now listening to Planet Rock - is the generation that has the highest proportion of dispensable income to spend. The younger listeners are going to become the generation with the money. Planet Rock has already become a British institution. Invest in it. Put it on FM so that the brand can grow and for the sake of your own profit margins, don't alienate your market by withdrawing a station that has incredible loyalty and potential. |
| Si H. Fri, 02/15/2008 17:28 |
SickthingsUK.co.uk supports the "Save Planet Rock" petition, not just because they carry the Alice Cooper show, but because the country NEEDS a station like this. UK radio is a disgrace.PlanetRock serves an huge audience that simply isn't catered to on Terrestrial radio. |
| Tony M. Fri, 02/15/2008 16:29 |
We have a DAB radio for one reason PLANET ROCK! Save it we need it in these days of mindless drivel on the other stations |
| mick c. Fri, 02/15/2008 16:22 |
SAVE PLANET ROCK so we can ROOCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKK!!! |
| Scooter N. Fri, 02/15/2008 15:47 |
What the hell are they thinking of? In this day there is room for all types of music on the radio. What was the point of me buying a DAB if I cannot listen to the station which beats Terry Wogan hands down. Long Live Alice, Long Live Planet Rock.....but more importantly Long Live Rock and Roll!!!! |
| samantha p. Fri, 02/15/2008 15:15 |
whatever you do, please do not shut down planet rock! it's by far the best radio station and i'm a regular listener...where else will I be able to listen to decent music and alice cooper's radio show!? i would advise the owners not to be stupid by shutting it down |
| Julie L. Fri, 02/15/2008 14:28 |
Why do they always want to get rid of the best things. Long live Planet Rock! I can let my teenage kids listen to the music that played such an important part of my early music education and the newer tracks. The Lloyd Family, Wirral, UK |

save planet rock the best rock station ever |
| Andy W. Fri, 02/15/2008 14:03 |
The only music radio station I listen to. The only UK radio station that plays the music I want to hear at the times I want to hear it. Save Planet Rock!! |
| Richard C. Fri, 02/15/2008 13:36 |
The only Radio Station that plays all different sorts of rock and its to close. There is no other radio station like Planet Rock. All the rest play the same sort of music. So we need to save a Planet Rock or throw your DAB radio in the dustbin. |
| Jim K. Fri, 02/15/2008 12:48 |
Brian May asked if he could buy it. LET HIM! |
| Peter J. Fri, 02/15/2008 12:46 |
The only reason I got a DAB radio is to listen to Planet Rock. I host my own rock show locally because of this stations influence. Sad indeed. Come on investors - see we want this station to survive! |
| Helen O. Fri, 02/15/2008 11:54 |
Help please save Planet rock, I cant believe they want to close it!! It's our life saver, we cannot bear the other trash music that is around these days, like others we bought our DAB radion purely for Planet rock, we are distraught! Come on Sir Ri chard Branson, if youre out there....BUY PLANET ROCK!!!!!!! |
| Zhenya M. Fri, 02/15/2008 11:46 |
I am only five (nearly six!) years old, and I love listening to Alice Cooper in the morning! If Planet Rock goes, mummy & daddy's cd collection will end up with my finger prints all over them! SAVE PLANET ROCK!!! |
| Bunty B. Fri, 02/15/2008 11:04 |
The main radio station we listen to, we have it on at least 10 hours a day. This station is excellent, great programming, interesting presenters and, of course, the amazing music. We have 5 DAB receivers in order to listen to it and fill the house with amazing music. We would be devasted if it closed. |
| Lyne K. Fri, 02/15/2008 10:34 |
The best radio station ever |
| ryan B. Fri, 02/15/2008 10:16 |
I am distraught at the pottential demise of Planet Rock, no longer can i lose myself in the endless prog and rock out to the leppard. This needs to be saved! |
| Karen S. Fri, 02/15/2008 10:08 |
PR is an award-winning station with half a million listeners, knowledgeable,funny and intelligent presenters and great music. KEEP IT OPEN!!! |
| Bill E. Fri, 02/15/2008 09:58 |
Planet Rock is pretty much the only radio station I listen to, it would be wrong to close it down. I do not even have a DAB radio, they probably do not even work where I live but you can get Planet Rock via the SKY dish so a DAB is not a necessity to listen to Planet Rock. Channel 0110 on SKY works just as well. It is great to be able to switch to PR on the TV when busy in another room, it is the only station worth listening to these days. |
| Stuart W. Fri, 02/15/2008 09:51 |
Save Planet Rock, the greatest reason for Radio in years. Unique music for a unique listener, there is no other. Long live Planet Rock. |
| Phil P. Fri, 02/15/2008 09:19 |
Planet Rock - its the only reason I bought a DAB radio and its the only radio station I listen to. In fact Planet Rock is the only one WORTH listening to, and its not just great music but its all the background information and insights plus up to date gig info. I've learnt so much and heard so many great tracks that have passed me by for various reasons - I'm actually buying music again! For all Classic Rock fans, please keep it going! Maybe some of top rock stars could join together to buy it - a sort of Rock Co-Operative!! |
| Martin F. Fri, 02/15/2008 09:05 |
Amazingly short sighted when there is no rock radio in the UK. Should be on Freeview too. |
| Pawel D. Fri, 02/15/2008 08:41 |
SAVE OUR PLANET ROCK! |
| enzo e. Fri, 02/15/2008 08:40 |
This sad situation is due to all the manufacturers refusing to support DAB. DAB should have been put in all new car radios as standard for the last few years. Also isn't it about time that some of the RICH rockstars helped save it? Apart from Brian May, who else has offered to dip their hands in their BIG pockets? WE put them there by buying their records!! It's paypack time Mr Plant & co! |
| Colin B. Fri, 02/15/2008 08:29 |
The only station of its kind in the UK. Do not be so short sited. Is DAB radio not the future, plus surely the demaographic of the listeners lends itself to advertising (ie people aged 20+ onwards, with more disposable income). Think again GCAP, or at least attempt to find someone to take it over. |
| Dave W. Fri, 02/15/2008 08:14 |
SAVE OUR PLANET ROCK! |
| matt s. Fri, 02/15/2008 07:47 |
Planet Rock must be saved, the only UK classic rock station that plays what we all want to hear 500,000 listeners cant be wrong surely. |
| Nigel R. Fri, 02/15/2008 00:24 |
Planet Rock rocks! Let it remain pleeeeeeeease. |
