The problem for all radio/media groups is they struggle to sell advertising for rock based stations,
Good point, Global's Arrow rock and Bauer's Kerrang just seem to be ticking over on London DAB and digital TV, keeping them on London terrestrial radio does help keep music payments lower, but Arrow has no ads at all, might be a placemaker to get auto renewal of an FM licence, and its future is unclear.

Isn't The Arrow the place-holder to keep one of the FM licences for Heart Home Counties valid?
For what its worth this tweet by John Myers seems to hint at a religious station replacing it.
"John Myers @johnmyersteam · Apr 15
God gave us Rock n Roll so I guess it's only right that #teamrock has agreed to give him his slot back."
He is probably referring to Premier staying on D1, with Heart Extra directly replacing Team Rock (rather than replacing Premier as was the original plan).
Couldn't find Teamrock today and assumed it was weather-related. Just stumbled over this thread. Wtf? Thanks a bunch Teamrock, us rock radio listeners in the shires now have only Planet Not Much Rock or NOTHING to listen to!!
What the hell is all that guff from the CEO in April about their listeners demanding no radio station??? This is all just bizarre.
