Name: Anonymous on Feb 12, 2008Comments: This is one of the few digital radio stations that I listen to. It seems such a waste to close this station down. There must be a way to make it profitable! It just needs to be managed in the right way!Flag

Name: Anonymous on Feb 12, 2008Comments: I am a 15 year old saxophonist and clarinetist and am inspired by the amazing records played on the jazz. For me listening to these great professionals is a great help in my development, it would be a great shame if this resource is taken away. Save the Jazz!Flag

Name: Anthony KS (Kyrke-Smith) on Feb 12, 2008Comments: I can not believe that wht was growing into an excellent station with some excellent programmes is being given the boot. I have digital radios all round the place playing nothing but unless my sons switch over to planet rock and they are killing off both. Please please do not.Flag

Name: David Meadowcroft on Feb 12, 2008Comments: theJazz is the best radio station that I've ever heard in thr UK. It was always going to be a low profit maker, but so long as it doesn't make a loss, GCap should keep it (£0.7m/year profit according to their figures). Commerce isn't just about making more money, but providing services that the public want. GCap have shown themselves to be just another greedy corporation without a care for their end customer (the listener).Flag

Name: Paul Pace on Feb 12, 2008Comments: This is disheartening news particularly since theJazz went to great pains not to make the same mistakes that became synomonous with the ill fated JazzFM. How pompous of the representative from gcapmedia on the Today programme this morning to cite JazzFM as an example of jazz radio not working out financially. Broadcaster Digby Fairweather was right to classify the axing of the station as 'cultural rape'. I'm happy to help out (and I'm sure our customers in Ray's Jazz at Foyles are willing too) to see if there is any way that this decision can be reversed. Yours...very concerned, Paul Pace, Head of Ray's Jazz at Foyles, www.foyles.co.uk Promoter, Spicejazz at the Spice of Life, www.spicejazz.co.ukFlag

Name: Anonymous on Feb 13, 2008Comments: I only discovered this station a few weeks ago and it is one of the few DAB radio stations that provides a service to its listeners different from what one can can access on FM radio. Moreover, as far I'm aware, it's also the only radio station dedicated to jazz music. Thejazz is an ideal introduction to newcomers of jazz music (like myself) and, with a solid and growing audience base, surely a way must be found to keep it on the air. Thank you.Flag

Name: E Clark on Feb 13, 2008Comments: theJazz is pure quality. It's almost all I listen to on my DAB radio. Jazz IS popular, just give it more time to establish - a year is nothing. Please!Flag

Name: Chris Mottram-Wooster on Feb 14, 2008Comments: This decision must be reversed. Jazz is enjoyed by more and more people of all ages. It is the thinking persons music, it is unthinkable that is is being taken away from after so many years of having no decent jazz coverage untill The Jazz.Flag

Name: Steve Scully on Feb 14, 2008Comments: Why don't the staff consider putting in an offer to buy the station then when it's sold to them for a small sum (after all theoretically it is a loss maker) appeal to each listener to send in say £2.00 which should keep it going for a while. Mike Chadwick et al what are you doingFlag

Name: Michelle Elston on Feb 16, 2008Comments: We bought a digital radio about 8 months ago and have been listening to TheJazz pretty much non-stop ever since. This kind of publicity could kill digital radio - We were about to buy a second digital radio so we could listen from other rooms in our house, but will think twice if TheJazz isn't available. So sad. Please reconsider.Flag

Name: Gareth Elston on Feb 16, 2008Comments: We bought a DAB radio specifically to listen to TheJazz. We were about to buy one for my dad's birthday for the same reason, but there seems to be little point now. I'm very disappointed in this incredibly short-sighted decision, particularly at a time when the DAB platform seems to be about to take off. I heard on Radio 4 that DABs had outsold IPods for the first time this Christmas, and that Ford has announced that it will put DABs in its Focus cars as standard.Flag
