Terrestrial planets in close orbits around magnetic white dwarf stars can be electron-cyclotron maser sources, by analogy to planetary radio emissions generated from the electrodynamic interaction between Jupiter and the Galilean moons. We present predictions of the radio flux densities from white-dwarf/terrestrial-planet systems and discuss a scenario for the formation of these systems.
