I personally think it maybe Luke Smith however i feel either of those would be wasted on overnights. Of course it maybe one of those ex Galaxy ones who are currently not on the network (possibly Adele Roberts or Christian Williams)?

Is chillerton down on reduced power or is the car radio really not working now?

Unlikely, Radio 1 have let it be known they only really hire from student radio or TV nowadays.
It never would have occurred to me but, yes, Dave would be an excellent fit for Radio 1 and would probably shine with longer links. |

The Guardian have a small opinion piece about Capital, it's not impressed:

i think the comments after the piece by the average listeners are worrying too...........
As one says: "if it's not Radio 4 or 6Music, Guardian readers hate it". Which about sums it up. Don't get me wrong, I can see how an intelligent and educated reviewer comes up with that conclusion (minus the fact that Johnny and Lisa have only avoided national stardom because of a "clever move" by Capital - more like 'cos Ofcom won't let them). But Capital aren't making their network for Guardian reviewers. Or readers, probably. |

Are they no longer making local-specific links for the stations outside London? They seem pretty generic these days. How does Dave Kelly do phone calls, etc. if it is voice-tracked or pre-recorded links?

A brilliant piece. See it's not just us...
Capital FM is shit. There you go, whole thread summed up in four words. |

just come out of the hairdressers.......
they had r1 on, it used to be galaxy.........i spoke to the owner, and she said "the last straw was just this week........we just couldn't put up with "G6" anymore.... the key to successful hit radio is knowing when to drop a track, sadly global are clueless in this department.

Download the 153 tracks on their current playlist to your ipod and you have your very own personalised Capital FM, put this on shuffle and away you go. If you want to be even geekier then add your own bland voice tracking in between the mp3s and boooom you have one hell of a product. It will go down well with the chavs. On a serious note, Capital FM can be tolerated in very small doses, otherwise it becomes too repetitive for my liking. |

The depressing thing is the likelihood of a significant improvement in the RAJAR results.
I would find that depressing not because of what Capital is (and what Galaxy has become) but how it reflects on the tastes and the listening habits of British Joe Public. In the same way that Heart does, just a different demographic. |

Hello I'm quite new to this.
Quick question, Is it just me or when Capital FM announced the Networking of Capital FM they seemed to drop Capital FM down a couple of pegs so it didn't sound so young, bouncy and energetic? It might just be me or has anyone else noticed. |

Will is doing an excellent job covering London Drivetime this week, while Greg is also doing an excellent job on Breakfast with Lisa (Better than Johnny and Lisa IMO) |

I was listening into Capital FM Manchester, and I'm wondering how they do the links when they say "You're listening to Capital FM Manchester" when a national DJ is on? Do they have different links for the different stations pre-recorded?
