    I notice the current on air competition to promote Capital TV is a bit cheeky. Giving away £388 (and a TV) because Capital TV is on Sky Channel 388.. What about the fact it's on FreeSat 517 too? :P

    Cheeky? Why?

    Sky is in many more homes than Freesat. Simple.

    BSkyB is a regular sponsor of programming on various Global stations. Nothing cheeky about it, it's just business.

    They promote the Sky platform and Sky buys sponsorship on their stations.

    Global aren't even promoting the Sky platform here. They're promoting their TV channel.

    It is.

    But £129 does not make a massive difference in the launch of their new channel.

    Is it harder to find on Sky than it is on Freeset? If so, that plus the potential audience, plus the fact it's less cash, and you've got 3 reasons why they'd choose that number.

    Q3 RAJAR Results looks disappointing for Capital South Coast. Looking at other networked stations are looking healthy

    Yes. Makes sense to hold the event in the Capital of the UK:)

    Capital South Coast seriously needs a new breakfast show! Zoe and Gillies are awful! It sounds scripted and like theyre trying too hard.

    I never noticed it on Power or Galaxy, but I've stopped listening to them at breakfast!

    It was painful on Saturday.

    I think Paul is alright though so maybe a new co-host. Nothing against Zoe, she's certainly better than Toni.

    Who would you have replace them?

    It almost sounded like it was pre-recorded it was that unnatural. However with Zoe recently announcing she was pregnant it won't be long till she is on maternity leave, so they will have to change it... Like you say, the question is who...? That said they do have a very big loyal following, so expect an uproar!

    I dare say Toni will do cover with Paul.
    As for weekends, what's Lloydie doing these days?

    He seems to do quite regular swing work for Hallam FM and Radio Aire.

    I am hearing a few references to 'Capital FM' again every now and again and on the website - has the TV channel meant that they need to be more specific?!

    I quite like the 'Capital' on the radio when people are listening to it, but in press releases and such it is 'Capital FM' so people know what they are on about. Wonder if they are changing it?

    Yeah some of the girls on my old department used to talk about Zoe & Gillies, back when it was Galaxy.

    I actually prefer Toni to Zoe, when she's in on her own she at least sounds natural, but I don't know how she sounds when co presenting with someone else.
