ROLL OF HONOUR
We are more grateful than you can imagine to those firms and individuals who sponsor us financially, advertise on Rocket FM, or help out in other ways. Without their generosity, we could never afford the licence fees to keep broadcasting each year. Here is a list of our sponsors and supporters in 2008 - please give them your business, and tell them you saw them mentioned here!
And if you are considering sponsoring or advertising with Rocket in 2009, now is not too early - this page will tell you all you need to know. And here is our Report to Sponsors for 2007.
