Yeah, those claiming Andi's show ending would put Capital bosses into panic mode are not realistic. To be honest, it's a very off-peak show (graveyard shift on a Fri night) and likely gets lower figures than their playlist shows that are on at the same time on other nights. It's only there to keep Ofcom happy over old Galaxy requirements, but that kind of banging club/dance music isn't what Capital is about or their focus, they'd rather be playing Rihanna/JLS etc. 24/7 with remix versions on Fri nights. They're a pop music station, not a club music station.
Andi's show would be a lot more at home on Radio 1, it stands out like a sore thumb on Capital these days, and I have been in taxi's with girls who ask the taxi driver "put capital fm on!" when they're heading somewhere on a Fri night, and Andi's show is on and they're like "this isn't capital!" or ask for it to be turned over again. People go to Capital for a mix of top 40 stuff.
