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”
Is Christian Williams, the same guy that does Weekends on Capital East Mids?? Does that mean the East Mids has to suffer 6hrs of this guy?? Thats crazy, they need to bring Steffan back (at least on the local station).
Andi needs to be on earlier, would be better matching Weekends with weekdays, as mentioned above - so James 19-22, andi 22-01 etc, and what's the point in having Emily on for 2hrs, should be replaced with a specialist show such as Sacha Brooks back or something better. 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??
