I may be one of globals biggest critics, but they have obviously reacted quickly when staff levels must be at a minimum, as they did with the M5 situation a while back............so good on them!
I remember someone who having read the procedure rather mischievously asked "What happens if you can't get hold of your PC on the phone?" The reply was that they should try all the numbers listed for their PC, and then other more senior people on the list or possibly the duty officer at weekends. I think they were hoping to be told to use their own choices for music. |

Nice of One Direction to thank Radio 1 for the award voted for by Capital FM listeners at the Brits!

Mind you not surprising really, given that Capital's done its very best to ignore One Direction in favour of playing The Wanted every hour. Can't think why ... |

Can't say I've ever heard their second single on Capital FM, though?

I'm watching it delayed. Has Rich had anything to say about this if anyone's listening?

If I thought One Direction were cynical enough, I'd be thinking they did it on purpose to stick two fingers up at Capital for only playing their first single (and it's never been on their A list) and ignoring the other songs they've put out.
In these times of music research the biggest bit of research you could get would be this surely? Mass amounts of listeners to the station telling them who there favourite band is, yet Global have completely ignore it in theory. |

I hear Capital have now taken 1 Direction off completely.
A bit like a baby spitting out its dummy! |

Isn't there a bit of a glaring error in the guardian piece. Where it says cooper is under pressure for the audience being too young, that's not the case at all, it's not young enough! Also I love the insider source, funny how they always talk in journalist style puns these unnamed sources!

How can we be sure it wasn't just 1D fans that don't nessisarily listen to Capital that have been told that they can vote on the Capital website?

I just went through Capital's "last 10 songs" list on their website, and it's true, they haven't played 1D at all today.
Also, I'm pretty sure I just went to the BRITs website and voted there. There was no condition of me ever having to have listened to Capital before, or be a fan of the station. So despite it being apparently being voted for by Capital listeners, I reckon a high percentage of those votes weren't even by Capital listeners. Dropping them from the station because of their on-stage error does seem a bit childish, but if Capital never really wanted to play them in the first place, then what they did isn't exactly going to make them want to play them, so fair play in my eyes. |

Richard Park was very upset. I can't believe they were upset, probably a little ignored by a little mistake.

You have to laugh really - Capital have got huge publicity out of this gaffe. The Capital name has been all over the papers because of it. How many people would have known that this award was chosen by Capital listeners if this hadn't happened?
Of course they have milked it by refusing to play the records. The whole incident has put the Capital name out there, and Ashley & Richard won't be that "upset" at the end of the day. Their advertisers are not going to switch to Radio 1 are they?
