My family have been listening to PR since the test broadcasts before the channel was officially on air... How long has that been? We used to tape it to play back to our kids on long car journeys... This station is part of my family history, in fact it IS part of my family! Please don't let this unique station go under! |
| Lucy B. Wed, 02/20/2008 22:53 | Please don't close Planet Rock! I am 19 and hate all this modern rubbish and Planet Rock has been my escape for nearly 5 years! SAVE IT! |
| Steven M. Wed, 02/20/2008 22:20 |
I think that Planet Rock is the best rock station ever. The first time I tuned in I thought that someone had managed to get hold of some of my favourite albums and was then playing them one after the other. If this station does close it will be the worst thing possible. It is the first and only digital radio station I listen to. Steve. From Bolton |
| Tony C. Wed, 02/20/2008 19:59 | I've got four DAB radios - including one for the car only last month - every single one of them was purchased for the sole reason of listening to Planet Rock! It's streaming over the internet as I type this. Planet Rock is too good to let go under. It's the biggest digital station in the country FFS! |

richard branson you got a knock back from northern rock now save planet rock |
| Sharon M. Wed, 02/20/2008 17:12 | Planet Rock is the reson I bought my Digital radio- its the only station I listen to. Planet Rock has introduced many bands old & new to its listeners & has helped these bands sell their albums. Planet Rock must not be closed down! Sharon Morris |
| Richard M. Wed, 02/20/2008 16:34 |
Planet rock needs to be saved, can the government buy it, they bought Northern Rock Bank. They will get a better return if they do. No sorry, do not let the government get hold of one of our pleasures. |
| Jester B. Wed, 02/20/2008 16:18 | Keep Planet Rock Going. Its the only reason I bought a DAB radio |
| MadFrenchGirl m. Wed, 02/20/2008 13:57 |
Oh please save planetrock, otherwise I will kill myself a s there won;t be anything worth listening to anymore if it goes under! |
| Pete A. Wed, 02/20/2008 13:52 | The only decent music station in the whole of the UK and some idiot wants to close it down. Nice one... I simply can't believe it. So called "classic" rock is on such a roll at the moment, just look at the current touring plans of the "old" bands. Zep at the O2 even made it to the national news bulletins. How many million applied for tickets for that show? If the likes of Brian May want to buy it, why not?! Just look at the nominees for the Brit awards to see how cruddy other musical genres are at the moment. Come on people, DON'T let this happen!!!!!!! |
| John M. Wed, 02/20/2008 13:41 |
Planet Rock is the best thing to have happened to British radio broadcasting certainly in my time. Loosing the 'home of rock' would have a devastating effect on my free time listening. Someone please save PR. Pleeeeeeeeeeeease! |
| H P. Wed, 02/20/2008 13:36 | I'm in my 60s and this station says everything for my generation. Probably the only rock station that doesn't insult my intelligence. Planet Rock is bigger than Gcap, trust me! |
| Nigel C. Wed, 02/20/2008 13:32 |
Checking the figures given by Gcap - it appears that combined costs of planet rock and Jazz are 1.7 million per year, with revenue of 1.0 million. Surely this cost gap wouldnt take much to fill. Someone must see the potential from saving Planet Rock. |
| LANCE J. Wed, 02/20/2008 13:31 | ****... ****... ****... I just can't listen to Radio 2. I promis that I will listen to all the adverts in future and buy all the thing they sell!! |
| Shane W. Wed, 02/20/2008 13:30 |
Planet Rock will be sorely missed by fans of good music everywhere. What other station has the balls to play the whole of Rime of the Ancient Mariner and other classics. |
| Nadine F. Wed, 02/20/2008 13:12 | GOD save the:Planet Rock! I'm french and I sustain you! |
| derek M. Wed, 02/20/2008 12:59 |
God gave rock n roll to us!! Rock n roll aint noise pollutions, rock n roll will never die. PlanetRock needs to be heard, at 11 is possible |
| Stuart Q. Wed, 02/20/2008 12:45 | Keep it goinging even if it's just to keep my wife happy lol ;) |
| Craig T. Wed, 02/20/2008 12:14 |
"The Man" must be stopped. Even if "The Man" is a woman (allegedly) on this occasion. Keep the flame burning! |
| P S. Wed, 02/20/2008 11:31 | Rock on, Planet...Rock! |
| M S. Wed, 02/20/2008 11:26 |
Keep Planet Rock on air! |
| Neil J. Wed, 02/20/2008 11:04 | Planet Rock is the only music station I listen to. Without it there'll be nothing out there to cater to my tastes |
| S S. Wed, 02/20/2008 10:59 |
I bought my DAB radio to listen to Planet Rock. Keep it going! |
| S S. Wed, 02/20/2008 10:58 | Like others Planet Rock is the reason I bought my DAB radio. Keep it going! |
| Peter R. Wed, 02/20/2008 10:15 |
Planet Rock is the only reason I bought a DAB radio! |
| Guy H. Wed, 02/20/2008 10:09 | Keep the station and the music alive! |
| ZootHorn R. Wed, 02/20/2008 10:08 |
Planet Rock is the best reason for owning a DAB Radio. "It's like Desert Island Discs, but without that old bird!" |
| mike f. Wed, 02/20/2008 09:51 | save planet rock - best station on radio. |
| calum a. Wed, 02/20/2008 09:43 |
this is a disgrace that they are taking away the one decent radio and the worse thing is its not just old folk that listen to this radio station i am 16 years old and rock is the most influential invention in my life. i think we should all stand together to save planet rock!!! SAVE PLANET ROCK!! |
| Steve G. Wed, 02/20/2008 08:16 | I only bought a DAB because of Planet Rock. I hope it gets saved by someone!! |
| Tony H. Wed, 02/20/2008 03:36 |
Planet Rock is the best rock station on the planet. Essential listening for every rock fan - and I live in CANADA. Planet Rock MUST be saved! Long Live Planet Rock! |
| ALLAN S. Wed, 02/20/2008 01:37 | Hi, I bought a dab radio on the strength that Planet Rock was fitted to my MARSHALL EVOKE, and was in for the long haul, come on guys & girls, YOURS IN ROCK,SNEDDY |
