Just got this e-mail from planet rock.
Hi Lea
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'
This is great new to me, I just hope they kick off the REM, Oasis ETC.
