Planet Rock Saved the following statement is copied from their website http://www.planetrock.co.uk/article.asp?id=731764
 
 

PLANET ROCK 4th June 2008 The news we have all been waiting for………. At long last I ’ m delighted to be able to announce that Planet Rock ’ s future is now secure. 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. In a deal finalised earlier today Malcolm takes control of the station with immediate effect, there will be no break in transmission or changes in programming.

Everyone at the station is over the moon and more than a little relieved that we ’ ve got the outcome we hoped for and that the wait is over. Now we can get back to normal. Thanks to everyone of you for your amazing support it really has been overwhelming, the individual email messages, the petitions to the Prime Minister and Ofcom, the incredible tenacity of the Save Planet Rock web site and to those groups who tried unsuccessfully to buy the station, you have all been an inspiration to all of us here at Planet Rock. You are all very special.    We are all looking forward to working with Malcolm. His passion for rock music and his love for the station can only help us in our aim to make Planet Rock the best rock station in the world……….ever.

 

Good news!!Smile

Good news considering what happened to Jazz Fm, and now what the owners are trying to do wrt dumping those few hours of jazz remaining on the renamed Smooth FM. I trust Planet Rock will make the efforts to include a few hours of jazz rock - great dj at LCR!

I wouldn't hold my breath DH, good as PR is, it's mainly all Freebird, Stairway, Reaper, Ain't Seen Nuthin' etc.

Now let us rock!
