Planet Rock is save for now and will continue
broadcasting until the end of April.
The station was due to shut down on
March 28th along with theJazz from digital platforms including Digital One and
Virgin Media.
The news of the extension comes from Rick Wakeman during
his Saturday morning programme on March 22nd. "Planet Rock will continue for
another month to allow time for discussions to take place with a potential
buyer," he said.
GCap's plans to sell their stake in national digital
multiplex Digital One along with Xfm stations outside of London are also thought
to be put on hold whilst negotiations continue with Global Radio. It is hoped
Global Radio will abandon plans to ditch digital should they be successful in
buying GCap Media.
So far, it is thought theJazz will close as planned on
Friday, 28th March.
