It seems Global are launching Capital Anthems this week. It's a bit exhausting how everyone's chasing the same audiences.

I find it amazing how they just whack out these national DAB slots left right and center for these spin off stations that seem to have a short shelf life.

on the grid.

Honestly same, its strange how many of these spinoff stations both Bauer and global just start every so often while keeping the vast majority of the existing ones going. Partially it's a thing where they own the multiplexes so they do what the hell they like with them. And what they seem to do is just downgrade the Bitrate so more space on the multiplexes and they audience probably doesn't notice or care the drop in sound quality

The multiplex Capital Anthems is on sounds so terribly and tinny in my car, I can barely listen. Suspect it's my radio being quite old and not very DAB+ friendly, but the sooner the BBC launch this station there the better. 

That will be because of the bitrate that they’ve launched these stations at… they try and squeeze too many stations on one multiplex.

I think Capital Anthems is as low as 32 kbit/s, whereas Radio 1 is broadcast at 128 kbit/s.

I hope eventually we'll see some proper shows for Radio 1 Anthems with some actual new presenters, instead of having random prerecorded anthems programming. It seems like a really great opportunity for some new presenters to have proper shows on a slightly smaller scale Radio 1 station with older, but still modern and relevent music. Almost like a Radio 1 mini, however the budget may not allow for so much.
