I didn't know this until today, but apparently, there is a chance that Planet Rock may stop broadcasting unless someone buys it
That would be such a shame! It's a great radio station, and one of the reasons we bought our digital radio!!!!
Save Planet Rock Radio Station - The UK's Only Classic Rock Radio Station
I've had a lot of sobering thoughts in my time.... It was them that started me drinking.
hmmm ultra low bitrate music.
Greed has killed any chance of DAB, squeezing too many channels into too little space results in crap quality.
Why cry over the loss of one of them.

Me neither.Originally Posted by Sair33
Because if you like that genre, the station is unique, and superb.
Bit rate, especially given the recording quality of some of the material, is not the killer issue. Yeah, higher would be better, but for background rock music, Planet Rock is superb. I don't listen to the radio much, and especially not recently (for several reasons) but when I do, it's usually either Planet Rock or Classic FM (depending on mood).
what i was meaning is loosing one, is hardly a bad start! Loose all DAB and replace them with something much better.

Well, in principle, yeah. I can't argue. In practice, I've got the DAB receiver, enjoy the content and the quality is okay for what I want. So I'd rather not have to go and buy a different receiver even if it is much better .... assuming you're talking about better technology. If you mean content, what I get suits me now.
Out of interest, how can it be the "only" rock station? There's Virgin Classic Rock for a start and that's on DAB as well

This is bunny and friends. He is fed up waiting for everyone to help him out, and decided to help himself instead!
I didn't even know this station existed until now, and the online stream doesn't sound too bad either. I would listen more if only I had DAB...
WiFi radio?
Something like Pandora if it gets to the UK would be awesome.
They've been mentioning it on Planet Rock for ages. Shame, but can't listen to it for too long. Like Alice Cooper when he's on tho.
I also listen to SnakeNet Metal Radio - Home of the Metal Nation! from time to time.

They're not even trying to save theJazz - sister station to Planet Rock and Classic FM.
Great shame.

I know it's not DAB but their also closing XFM in Cardiff
Why does rock radio just never seem to work?
"I Don't mind Lobster. It's like you could, you know... Punch... A lobster. I wouldn't eat anything I couldn't punch"
im quite annoyed about it as well.
but at least some people have expressed interest in buying and wont shut for another month.
