A London institution since 1973
Capital Radio went on air in October 1973, just days after LBC, as one of the first commercial radio stations in Britain. For decades it was simply London's pop station, launching the careers of famous DJs and becoming part of the city's culture. In 2011 its owner Global brought a group of local hit music stations together under the Capital name, creating a network that now reaches listeners in many parts of the UK, while 95.8 FM remains the original London home of the brand.
What is on Capital
Capital is all about hit music: pop, dance, R&B and hip hop from the artists at the top of the charts. Capital Breakfast is one of the most popular breakfast shows in London, packed with music, celebrity interviews, games and big prize competitions. Through the day and evening the hits keep coming, and at weekends the station counts down the biggest songs. Capital is also famous for live events, most notably the Summertime Ball and the Jingle Bell Ball, which bring global pop stars to London stages every year.
