I am on holiday in central Scotland and to be honest I have capital on in my car. I just wish I could get it in my car in Suffolk without a dab radio.
There are much better stations in Scotland compared to Capital Scotland. All the DJs are highly irritating just like the whole network of Capital DJs.

The capital bong game is back on capital breakfast. Hope a new generation of listeners love it well I'm only 28 but feels like years ago it was on air.

Radio 1 is slightly ahead in Q2 but they have alternated over the past few years. It's very much a contest where there is a level playing field and both are on FM.
Quite a cheery bit of news, really. It means there are as many in the demographic with a functioning brain as those who have been lobotomised.

There may be hope for my pension after all.

Schedule change next week:
Emily Segal 1-3am
Capital Mixtape 3-4am
Any Payne 4-6am

Any idea why they are only doing 2 hour shifts?

Gutted that the Mixtape has been pushed back to 3am! Been listening to Capital this week and loved the tunes played.

Capital also sounding very good at the moment. Discovered a few new tunes that I've downloaded the last couple of days and liking that it's not robo-jock format. Will Cozens and Emeli Segal both sounding good too

If they left mix tape at 2, the previous slot would only be 1 hour so would not be worth it

8 hours of local programing on Fridays so I assume Andi will start at midnight.

Any reason as to why James Barr has lost an hour off his show Mon-Thursday, and not doing Fridays at all?! I thought Fri+Sat was going to 'in the mix'?

Pandora on Fridays 8 - 12 and James on Saturdays still.

He is back on Friday according to schedule for next week now. Cant see as far as saturday, though.

Thought I saw Christian Williams (Ex Trent/South Coast/Midlands weekend presenter say he starts new 3-5 weekend network show next weekend.

Could possibly become 4-8 Drive, 8-12 James barr, 12-3 Andi, 3-5 Christian, 5-8 Emily, 8-12 Breakfast?

If they left mix tape at 2, the previous slot would only be 1 hour so would not be worth it
They could have moved it back to 1am after Will finishes, and then have 2-6am as one show? Or keep Will as 10-2, mixtape 2-3 and 3-6 as early breakfast.

Will Cozens's show is now called "The Capital Late Show With Will Cozens"
Pretty sure Heart have "The Heart Late Show with Simon Beale", too.

In my opinion: James Barr 7 - 10 / Capital Mixtape 10 - 11 / Andi Durrant 11 - 2.

"8-12 Breakfast?" I hope not, It would be Capital Lunch instead of breakfast

That would be a horrid shift 3-5am though, unless it is voicetracked as i guess that would mean Christian leaving his 'local' show?

It is most likely that they're cloning the Heart Schedule, obviously Andi will be on air from midnight till 3am, however if they're dropping the mixtape for saturday, how will Capital meet the 12 hour requiremennts for speical programming? Andi x 2 = 6 Hours, Capital Mixtape = 5?... They're playing with fire!

for me it is interesting why they have decided to extend Friday's Drivetime show. Are they taking an hour of the local weekend shows?

Yeah, I did mean weekends. I thought as I included Andi, that it would be obvious I meant overnight fri into sat. sorry.

... ow will Capital meet the 12 hour requiremennts for speical programming? Andi x 2 = 6 Hours, Capital Mixtape = 5?... They're playing with fire!
Didn't they include James Barr's Friday and Saturday shows as specialist at one point, which would mean they were doing more than enough (in the eyes of the format) perhaps they will go back into the proper 'in the mix' style and fulfil the rest of the requirement.

for me it is interesting why they have decided to extend Friday's Drivetime show. Are they taking an hour of the local weekend shows?
I think they all require 8 hours of local programming at weekends regardless of the minimum 7hrs a day during the week. Having an 8 local hours doesn't mean they can have one less somewhere else.

I think they should bring in Steve Reed (ex. Hit Music Friday nights)

In my opinion: James Barr 7 - 10 / Capital Mixtape 10 - 11 / Andi Durrant 11 - 2.
I think it's pretty clear they're trying to schedule the specialist hours at the very lowest time of day for listening. 3am meets this idea, but 10pm certainly doesn't.
