Turn Wednesday night up loud with Rock by Request with Fitzy on BitWaves.
Every Wednesday from 7pm, Fitzy takes over with a show dedicated to rock — and this time, you help choose what gets played.
From classic rock and hard rock to metal, alternative and modern favourites, Rock by Request is built around the songs BitWaves listeners want to hear.

Send it through, turn the volume up and make Wednesday night yours.
You Choose the Rock
The clue is in the name.
Rock by Request puts the listeners in control.
Instead of simply sitting back and accepting whatever comes next, you can send Fitzy the rock songs you want to hear and help shape the soundtrack of the night.
Maybe it’s a legendary anthem.
Maybe it’s something heavier.
Maybe it’s a track you haven’t heard on the radio in years.
Whatever your style, send it through.
Rock from Across the Decades
Rock has never been just one sound, and neither is Rock by Request.
Across the show, you could hear everything from:
- Classic rock
- Hard rock
- Heavy metal
- Alternative rock
- Grunge
- Punk and pop-punk
- 90s and 2000s rock
- Modern rock
- Australian rock favourites
- Huge guitar-driven anthems
- Forgotten tracks worth hearing again
One request might take things back several decades.
The next could be something much newer.
That variety is what keeps Rock by Request moving.
Classic Anthems to Modern Rock
Some rock songs never seem to lose their impact.
The opening riff starts and you immediately know what’s coming.
Others might be songs you loved years ago but haven’t heard in far too long.
Rock by Request gives those tracks somewhere to live alongside newer rock releases and listener favourites from across the decades.
It’s about big guitars, memorable vocals, great songs and plenty of volume.
Send Fitzy Your Request
Think you know what should play next?
There are a couple of ways to get involved.
Visit the Make a Request page and send your track directly to BitWaves.
You can also connect with us through the BitWaves Facebook page and let us know what you want to hear.
Your request could be:
- A favourite rock anthem
- A heavy track that deserves to be turned up
- A forgotten classic
- Something for a mate
- A song connected to a great memory
- A track you rarely hear anywhere else
If it rocks, Fitzy wants to hear about it.
Wednesday Night with Fitzy
The middle of the week could probably use a little more volume.
That’s where Fitzy comes in.
Every Wednesday night, he brings the rock to BitWaves with a show shaped by the people listening.
Whether you’re at home, working late, driving, in the shed, gaming or just looking for something louder than the usual weekday soundtrack, Rock by Request has Wednesday night covered.
More Than a Rock Playlist
What makes Rock by Request different is the interaction.
The listeners aren’t just along for the ride — they’re helping decide where the show goes next.
That means the playlist can move from a classic rock staple to a 90s alternative favourite, then into metal, punk or something completely unexpected.
No two nights need to sound exactly the same.
Your requests help make the show.
