News from Planet Rock - the station has been saved :)


Planet Rock news release:




We're pleased to bring you the news we have all been waiting for....

At long last we're 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 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.

Thanks for listening and keep rockin'

The UKTV network will rebrand in October. The UKTV brand is to be dropped completely with variuous channels being renamed. Not much info is available yet but the following are being suggested:

UKTV Gold --> Gold - the channel will move away from retro and move towards more comedy.
UKTV Drama --> possibly becoming Alibi - with an increasing focus on crime dramas.

There will also be a new channel to provide a home for the Richard & Judy Show. This will replace one of the other channel timeshifts.
