You completely miss the point as usual. I'm not saying Justin Bieber is awful.

But you can't honestly tell me that when "sorry" plays now on Capital you say to yourself "oooooh Bieber again, great!"

No, you think, "oh not this bloody song AGAIN". Someone has actually made a website to take the piss out of it, yet you still deny they are playing certain songs to death on that station.
I will NEVER deny that Capital play songs to death, Thats their job, To play hit music. There is nothing worse waiting hours for a song to play. 60mins is a long enough wait. I take it you're not a beliber?!

According to his twitter account Will Manning has left Kiss & The Hits, it also shows that he is now following Capital London Breakfast and Capital.

The bio does state that he is on a hiatus, so is it gardening leave before joining Capital?

Surprised that Capital Weekender is live overnight, but I did hear a lot of chart remixes on the show.

I don't know what that means.

I think the recent Justin Bieber songs are great pop music as I've said already. There's nothing wrong with the songs at all and of course Capital should be playing them.

It's just a bit too much, Radio 1 plays them often, Kiss even more so. But at one point on Capital it felt like they were playing a Bieber song every half an hour. That's just ridiculous!

Have I ever? Yes many times!

I've probably spent over a year of my life in America. It's fairly obvious that Global are modelling Capital on the iheartradio owned stations. I disagree with you though, KIIS Los Angeles for example is nowhere near as repetitive. I do listen to that a lot.

The problem is, that Capital have NO IDEA when to drop a song that the rest of the target audience are fed up with.

R1, and to a lesser extent, Kiss seem to get the balance right!

Totally agree, For example Rudemental, Waiting All Night, STILL on heavy rotation 3 years after release!

But you've just agreed with what you were disagreeing with me about!

Previous poster hit the nail on the head better than I could. They don't know when to stop, maybe that's more the problem.

No, New songs need to be played on heavy rotation not songs from 3 years ago!

Indeed, but also know when to stop. Justin Bieber-Sorry should be well and truly off the playlist now for instance.
