DAB 'not economically viable'
http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2008/feb/11/gcapmedia.digitaltvradio
This is bad news for those that enjoy 'Planet Rock' and 'thejazz'
both on DAB
The Downsizing Troubled Owners have said they are both to close.
This is all wrong
they should not have to pay 1 million pounds
to get onto DAB.
The Bloated BBC can have loads of stations,
more than they even need.
Planet Rock was a great station
nothing like it.
 
This Special Edition Marshall Radio
has the Number 1 Fixed to Planet Rock only
that means that No.1 will be a wasted station number.
Sign Of The Times.

DAB is not all it is cracked upped to be.
Read an article yesterday about how the quality is being lost due to cramming to many stations in. Radio 3 listeners were not impressed.
I do not think digital TV is an improvement either.
Will miss Planet Rock.

Yes DAB
works well on talking stations
but it is true that the Quality goes up and down on Music Stations.
It is a real shame
no buyers can take over Planet Rock
they even did Gary Moore nights.
One of the best stations out there. |

My other half, being a failed Anorak of the Week is devastated.
The technical stuff aside, it's a great radio station and it will be a huge shame if no one saves it. Rick Wakeman makes my week.(...for example wondering if the town of Muff, County Donegal, has a diving club...) |

Great News DaveB
" We have been purchased
by life long rock and radio fan Malcolm Bluemel
and his consortium supported
by our very own Tony Iommi,
Ian Anderson , Gary Moore, and Fish, saving Planet Rock
from certain closure."
Good on Malcolm ,Tony Iommi
and Gary Moore. |
