Good news for Marvin. He's going to be very busy early next year, being the new presenter of The Voice too!
I hope the keep Friday and Saturday 7-10 'in the mix' because it's one of the best things Capital do, and it's clearly popular, though it seems bosses think it's because of the presenter rather than the format!
Not surprised Rich is going - in London Capital gets slaughtered by Kiss as soon as breakfast is over so they clearly need to freshen up daytimes. Good luck to Pandora who takes over 10-1. Can't believe James Bassam has that long left either.

Isn't that mostly due to Kisstory at 11, which has a significant spike?
Capital tried to replicate that with the 'Re-Cap' at 10 but discontinued it after a while.

Pandora is dreadful, Kiss has got no competition there, as if. Even with Capitals hiring of a new music producer poached from Kiss, who starts in Jan,Kiss is just too slick.

More changes will be revealed in near future, in line with Capitals plans for 2014.

It's a shame that got discontinued, as I enjoyed that! Any chances of seeing it return in 2014?
Could all change, but according to Radio Times & Virgin Tivo (and Capital Website).
Surprisingly New Years Eve they've still got 7hrs local? Thought they would have dropped it to 4hrs. (I know this happened when it was Leicester Sound, but thought last year they only had 4hrs local).

Seems to me, they'll be in the mix commercial free 1900-0500 New Years Eve then??
I am so happy they finally got Ivan D'Sa Back, and many people in our work are now once again listening to 105.4 on a Sunday now:) Lets hope it lasts, as he's a great DJ, and glad he got some extra shows over Christmas (as always!).
Question:
Has Capital played any classic Christmas songs yet (slade, Band Aid, Wizzard)? or are they reserving these for Christmas Day only? So far all I've heard is a few recent tracks only, the oldest being a 2009 - Last Christmas by Ariana Grande. I would have though the audience being 10-15 years would love Christmas songs?? And it seems Capital have the Merry Christmas Jingles, but no Christmas songs??
I'm sure last year they played them from about 15th and mixed them between normal playlist, I think even Bing Cosby's white christmas got an airing on Christmas Day!!
Pandora is dreadful, Kiss has got no competition there, as if. Even with Capitals hiring of a new music producer poached from Kiss, who starts in Jan,Kiss is just too slick.
Totally agree I much prefer to listen to Danny Mylo on the Pulse once the Dose is Finished at 10 then to listen to her

On Capital Birmingham during breakfast I've heard Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" quite a few times over the last couple of weeks. The only other Christmas song I can recall hearing during breakfast is Leona's "One More Sleep", but obviously that comes under the recent category you mentioned.
Can't comment other than that as I only really listen to Capital Birmingham at breakfast.

Heard the Pogues today, the start was cut, straight into the signing.
Rich Clarke is only on Capital London for the next 3 days before he leaves Global Towers and moves to Heart South Coast Breakfast in Segensworth West, outside Fareham,
Not surprised Rich is going - in London Capital gets slaughtered by Kiss as soon as breakfast is over so they clearly need to freshen up daytimes. Good luck to Pandora who takes over 10-1. Can't believe James Bassam has that long left either.
Agreed, The Bassman is in his mid 40s now, way too old for the Capital target.
Tried listening to Capital East Midlands this week as Sam & Amy are off. Used to love Dino & Pete on Ram FM, but can't get into it now. It's beyond irritating the way they always play music in the background when the DJs are talking.

That was part of Andi Durrant's Xmas Mixtape which included Run DMC and The Supremes!
Heard the Pogues today, the start was cut, straight into the signing.
Thought Marvin was going to present the show on his own.
I thought so as it seemed to had been read in that way.
Agreed, The Bassman is in his mid 40s now, way too old for the Capital target.
