And who said it was only for older people? I’m 26 and I loved that station badly.
As the others said: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring it back, why good things come to and end is just beyond me.

Hi…perhaps you will all like to look at our new internet station, Melody Radio at : http://www.melodyradiouk.com

We are not on DAB or broadcasting on FM yet and it is still in a formative stage….but there are developments in the pipeline.

I have been trying to find this great station on the Internet, but without success. The website address fails to connect. Any suggestions, other than please bring the station back to DAB or even broadcast it on VHF instead of all the nearly identical, noise generators which are currently there.

This is John Stewart from Germany again (see January 29th).
At the Ofcom website, under the link
http://www.ofcom.org.uk/radio/ifi/rbl/rbupdates/update0909/ is a
reference to DAB station Format Changes. One of these is the removal of Our Kind of Music. I sent an email to support@getdigitalradio.com] saying that there are hundreds of notes posted on the Internet lamenting the loss of this station. For some of us, it was the only station we listened to and, since its loss, we have not been able to find an alternative. I asked why the station was removed and whether, due to public demand, it could be restored.
The reply I received was “As far as I know, Our Kind Of Music wasn’t “removed” but it was that the owners decided to cease broadcasting the station. I’m not sure for what reason though. It would seem unlikely that this decision would be reversed though.”
So, the future for Our Kind of Music doesn’t look too good at the moment.

There is a device made by Aluratek Called a USB Internet radio Jukebox, Model AIRJ01F. It plugs into an USB Port on a computer.

It allows you to access radio stations worldwide. It has a station listed under nostalgia called “181 FM Vocal Jazz. United States. It is very similar to “Our Kind of Music”

Worth looking int, the device is about $30.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE bring back ‘OUR KIND OF MUSIC’, which was so nice to listen to, and was the reason for me to buy 2 DAB radios !!, which I’m sure will soon wear out now having to keep select another station with fewer adverts.

I only listened to two Internet radio stations – BBC Radio 4 for news and current events and Our Kind of Music. So far, I have been unable to find an alternative to Our Kind of Music. Surely, someone must know who made the decision to drop Our Kind of Music. I´m still trying to find out. I understand that a group of DAB radio stations, including Our Kind of Music, was bought or acquired by a company, which is the start point for my search.

I keep attempting to tune to Our Kind of Music on my DAB radio in the vain hope that it will come back on air. Used to love listening to this, especially in the evening when cooking dinner – nice, relaxing muisc from yesteryear without annoying presenters or adverts. It’s sadly missed. I’d even put up with adverts if it meant it got the funding to bring it back on air.

Sorry to see it go. But always wondered how it could exist with apparently no income. I would like it back if possible.

There's not another radio station like it! Please bring it back. I've been listening to it for many months here in north Germany and will miss it greatly.

I have just come across this station on the internet, and I really like it. The only thing I miss is the titles being broadcast. Thanks for the music anyhow. Zsuzsa from Hungary

My wife is severely disabled and her only pleasure in life was to listen to "Our kind of music" all day. The continuous music was just the kind of music we used to dance to when we were young. Why did you take the station off air when it was obvious that so many people loved it. Please, please put the station back on air and bring happiness back to my wife. Ken

What have you done, why are we being told on one hand by our wonderful Government that Dab is the future of broadcasting and on the other great radio stations like Our Kind of Musics are deserting DAB.
Come back to DAB we all miss you. DL

My elderly mother listened to "Our kind of music" all day long and is lost without it. Please bring it back, it gave so much enjoyment to so many people.
