Sure, You can listen again on the Capital App, But she makes no reference to it being her last show. I do know that Ashley called her personally once he heard she was leaving,
It was probably his decision!

That puts that one to bed, then. She must have been offered a very attractive pay packet at Kiss.

It's not often you see a someone poached like that from a rival in the radio world.

For anyone wondering, I believe there's a 3 month block for presenters to move from one station to another. Not sure why she has 4 months off though? Perhaps Capital wanted her off earlier (they could be paying her for March).

For my money, will cousins will move to xtra and Toni back to capital. Just because she was dropped from sat afternoons doesn't mean she isn't on point for the 10 to 1 slot.

I wouldn't bank on Dave Berry being around much longer. In fact with President Ashley now running the shop in person, I predict a lot of changes.
i can see Dave moving to Radio X in the Future

Surely that will depend on the individuals contract.

Everyone is better on there then Capital! They are allowed to speak on Xtra. Hence why I thought Pandora was rubbish and some of you corrected me. How could I know if I've only every heard her say a few sentences at a time?

I agree Toni is good on Xtra, would be a shame to see her go to Capital because she'd barely get to speak.

Toni is a very slick CHR jock though, in my book she's one of the best CHR jocks in the UK. She can do quick, slick links yet they ooze personality.

She did overnights on Capital and I'm curious why Kiss didn't poach her, because she sounds very much like Neev?

Capital are phasing in a new imaging package today with a new female VO (sounds like the one from Juice), new news beds and a VO after the news saying "Capital, from Global"

Does anyone know if the 'from Global' bit is going out on all Global stations?

Ah yes, Ashley is going full steam ahead with the changes, The link in with it being a Global company will intensify in the coming months.

I quite like Ant, I think he suits the station well
If you think he's bad, you should listen to the guy on the Liverpool Breakfast show

He's been listening to too many iheartradio (Clear Channel) stations from the US. Like you say no one cares.

Meanwhile... The odd situation with the two versions of Capital broadcasting in Merseyside continues. I would have thought this would have been resolved by now. Heard some Wirral specific adverts on Capital 97.1 this morning. There can't possibly be many people in Wirral listening on that frequency now, most will be listening on 107.6 now. What a waste for the advertisers.

I believe it's done so the advertisers and corporates who listen know that they're part of a family, a package you can buy. I understand that's why Classic started doing this first, on the basis that it's demo is more likely to include these kind of people.
