Why are there no rock stations available on FM? Before any says it, Radio 1 is NOT, I repeat, NOT A ROCK STATION!!! You’ll find more rock on a Children’s radio station. Some cars with built in radio/sat nav systems just cannot get DAB, Bluetooth, USB, Or even Aux plug. I don’t have a lot of cds now, so I’m stuck listening to Radio 2. I’m going mad. Please help!!! Cheers.

i had the same trouble after kerrang left the midlands . All the alternative stations are a poor attempt so i listen to razor on their app on my phone and plug that in my car and work radio, now i dont listen too any uk radio as they all suck . Razor plays good up to date rock and metal with good classic rock and metal thrown in. No more oasis and pink floyd rubbish. They do have an app .Saved my sanity .

Primordial Radio is the best rock, metal and beyond station around now. If you listened to TeamRock, then you’ll know some of the presenters.
It’s online, and via an app.
Give it a try and you won’t regret it. Such a great community too.

In reply to Fleur.

There are no real Rock stations available on dab anymore.
Kerrang! Is now only web based, PlanetRock just plays classic stuff, Radio X has sold its soul to the commercial devil.
I bought a dab transmitter for my car so I could use Bluetooth from my phone.

I was trying to find out what rock radio stations were still available, i live in Dorset , have a FM/ Dab radio, channels a bit limited, used to be able to get Planet Rock, then it disappeared from my area and so did Team Rock Radio, can get Radio X, its alright but plays a lot of indie and not much metal, a lot of stuff available in my area is not my taste. My old Dab radio picked up Kerang, but not the Bush model which turned out to be owned by Argos.
