News:
11-04-2008:
Planet Rock has been nominated for three Sony Radio Awards. The nominations for the 26th annual Sony Radio Academy Awards, the radio equivalent of the Oscars, have been announced and Planet Rock made sure rock was at the top of the list.

Here's what we have been nominated for:

* Digital Station of the Year Award
* Multiplatform Radio Award (Monthly Specials)
* Music Broadcaster Award (Fish on Friday)



However, it was announced on 11th Feb 2008, that GCap Media, (the owners of Planet Rock) were to CLOSE this radio station by the end of March 2008. This has now been extended until end April, pending negotiations to sell Planet Rock. GCap Media have now closed theJazz and will be handing back various local XFM licenses they hold, or selling them off.

So, please support this petition to show support for this station, in the hope that we can impress upon someone to buy it and keep it going: http://www.saveplanetrock.co.uk/ and the ongoing campaigns

Win Strat Masters DVD!

In the world of iconic guitars, very few are quite as iconic as the Fender Stratocaster.

Acclaimed filmmaker Michael Bayley Hughes and former Guitarist Magazine contributor Bob Hewitt, portray their passion for the Fender guitar throughout this beautifully made film that is a comprehensive history of the most versatile and popular guitar of all time.

Strat Masters features interviews with a ‘who’s who’ list of great Stratocaster players for their own thoughts on the instrument; Jeff Beck, Ry Cooder, Robert Cray, Mark Knopfler, Chris Rea, the late Rory Gallagher, Al Jardine, Albert Lee, Hank and Bruce of The Shadows - as well as the late African guitarist Jonah Sitole.

If you want to win this amazing DVD then all you have to do is correctly answer the very easy question and you'll go into a prize draw.
