What is going on with The Mixtape? The page doesn't appear on the homepage, Yet it appears of on the Schedule. Getting really confused with most of the schedule
![]() Is James Barr going back "In The Mix" on Saturday? |

I'm suprised Andi stayed at 11pm for so long, never mind 10pm! Schedulers are gradually moving specialist shows to even more obscure times.
Mash and Sacha went because it's cheaper without them and to automate a Mixtape over several days. Steve Sutherland just wouldn't fit into Capital's teenybopper target audience. Edit: New weekend overnights: 12am Andi Durrant 3am Christian Williams 5am Mixtape 6-8am Emily Segal This would be easier to understand: 12am Andi Durrant 3am Mixtape (in-line with weekdays) 4-8am Emily Segal that must be soul destroying. And only 2 hours for this seagull girl? Hardly worth the bother? I agree they should stick Steve Sutherland on

Andi Durrant now showing up on schedule as 12-3am on Saturday and Sunday morning. Those six hours combined with the 6 x one hour Mixtapes = 12 hours. I don't think Pandora's or James Barr's 8-12pm on Friday and Saturday nights will be in the mix (or considered specialist, at least)

Also are they not breaking Ofcom rules, as the Urban show is gone, Birmingham has to have this??? Andi shouldn't be on soo late, he is definitely in line with Capital audience, after all research shows, most people age 16-28 prefer something different, than hits, which are more popular with an audience of 10-15 and older audience 30-44. So Capital is really eitehr targeting 10 year olds or 30+ no?? |

I'm grateful Andi is on at all. |

Capital are so slow updating the presenters time slots on the Schedule!
Why isn't "The Mixtape" on Capitals homepage anymore? It's still scheduled. |

I guess he'll be back In The Mix. I don't know for sure. But without it, they've only got 9 hours of "specialist", so he needs to be, unless they have other plans.

What strikes me is that Capital uses this "All the hits" Tagline.. You'd think that they play hits from the past as well?

To be fair, yesterday I heard 2 songs that were at least 5, if not 6 years old on capital.
Quick question, ant Payne tweeted congratulations to Adam inker on his new gig, any body know anything certain, does he now have a network show or something? |

I might listen to XFM's "The Remix" this Friday,
Anybody listened to it before? The playlists look quite good... |

I don't understand why the Mixtape is at 5 on Saturday. What't the point of having normal playlist between?

I think Capital's format restrictions from inheriting the Galaxy stations are starting to show. Big hits such as "Some Friends" by Fun and One Direction "live while we're young" are not getting played due to format restrictions I think. If the Galaxy stations were truly in format, they would sound like Kiss yet in London has to distance itself from Kiss.
It can't be a true hit music station yet! |

Capital as a station is sounding quite good. Its ear bleeding compression lets it RIGHT down. Quote:

What is it with the terrible radio edits they've been playing recently?
On Florence + The Machine 'Spectrum', they completley remove vocals from some of the chorus and on Wiley's 'Heatwave' they've practically re-arranged the whole song ![]() |

Capital have put the "Mixtape" back on the homepage now.
It would be good fun if Radio 1 had Andi Durrant and have him a show. I wonder what Capital would do if Andi was to leave? (Except for panic) |

OK, cool. Capital will be in trouble though should any more guitar-led stuff makes its way into the top 10 as they simply cannot play more than a few 'spice' tracks.
