Capital now has more listeners than Radio 1 🤯

 

Is that the main station itself? I know Global often like to spin it by mentioning the Heart and Capital 'brand' beating R1, but they lump in all the spin off stations into that figure.

Superb for Matt & Mollie, it’s richly deserved as the show is so good.

I honestly think they’re in for a Scott & Chris style long stint on the afternoon slot.

They also appear in the Top 10 Programmes for Under 35’s on BBC Sounds latest data too. M&M are 9th, Going Home is 5th, Greg is 4th with 10s & 00s taking the top 2 spots.

Help I Sexted My Boss has also made it into the Top 10 U35 podcasts on BBC Sounds for the first time!

I believe it's the Capital Network or as they call it 'the Capital brand' that's got 9m not CapitalFM. CapitalFM is around 6m, I believe. Global tend to group stations as a network/brand as it makes it sound better.  It's like Heart's 12.99m figure is all of Heart's stations added together.  HeartFM on it's own is around 7m. Which is still a good figure.

Interestingly Bauer claim Greatest Hits Radio has 7.4m as a single station making it the UK's biggest commercial radio station.  That would beat HeartFM.  Global has always had the biggest commercial radio station with HeartFM so to lose it would be quiet a big thing.  

Radio 1 and Capital have likely done well thanks to the drops KissFM and Hits Radio.

Very pleased for Matt & Mollie - the success is richly deserved! The show is excellent and they'd been weekday ready for some time. There's no reason they can't continue in that slot for years should they want to.

Have loved them covering Breakfast this week.

This set of Rajars seem to have been a successful one for quite a number of stations in general.

Given how quick Radio 1 and Jamie were to hype up Going Home's figures last time they are sort of conspicuous by their complete lack of mention and we know Matt & Mollie are the 2nd most popular Radio 1 show now (and presumably Breakfast is #1).

In unrelated news, strong set of RAJARs again for Jordan on that there Capital.

It's true to say there has been a drop off since Q2 2024 but Going Home is still tracking slightly higher than Q3 2023.

Does anyone know why kiss fm has dropped in figures so much over the years I used to enjoy kiss years ago when I first heard RMC on at breakfast 

It sounds like a combination of factors. Some say the playlist is too repetitive, they've moved away from a lot of dance, and the older audience enjoy Kisstory instead, and just the fact there are so many dance stations out there. With the station now moving off FM I'm guessing that slide will continue.

Kisstory is a mainstay on my presets these days. Back when I first passed my driving test in 2007 I had a dab unit installed in my Citroen Saxo (brap brap yo yo yo etc). At that time Kiss was always on in the car, I tried it again recently, without the Saxo. And I couldn't stay on it for more than 10 minutes. Kisstory will probably eventually end up the bigger station than the parent.

My sister had a Citroen Saxo back then too!

I wanted to buy it back and paint some go faster stripes on it. But apparently it was last on the road in 2017.

    • Since Radio 1 Dance and Anthems have been allowed to broadcast on DAB, do we think they’ll be a proper schedule of shows like on Radio 1 Dance with the morning show and Dance Anthems at drive time. Maybe Lauren Redfern, Tyler Selby, Chrissy Cameron or Matt Hallsworth will be scheduled on named shows like Hits Radio 00s or Capital Anthems rather than the generic ‘Radio 1 Anthems’ show. Obviously it would probably cost more to produce actual shows on the station however.
    • There's been a lot of positive reaction to the Mylo and Rosie news so am interested now to hear what their shows are like. And yep wouldn't be surprised if they stay on beyond July as cover ever so often. And that Friday-Sunday news was hidden in the small print a little. It presumably means we lose Party Anthems all that month as that is what has happened this year with Big Weekend, Glasto for example. I certainly I hope it isn't Party Anthems being quietly axed full stop - it and Future Pop are 2 real hidden gems on Radio 1. 
    • I’m pleased for Mylo and Rosie, they were highly thought of in our local area and definitely worthy of that slot 
    • I’m thinking the same redding and Leeds etc 
    • -Considering how little Jamie has appeared since Vick went off on maternity, it probably would've been more sensible to have Sam & Danni taking over from that point and have him return with Katie. - Mylo and Rosie are apparently very good and one of the more popular local presenters who lost their slot when Hits went fully national. I gather they are very popular in Yorkshire. I can see them definitely see them popping up again beyond this stint. -Life Hacks cover is yet another good opportunity for some new voices (I know Yinka has popped up in the past). I have enjoyed Pete Allison covering though. I'm assuming most of August's Friday to Sunday 1-4pm will be made up of festival coverage.
    • - Jamie Laing will take a break from Going Home from 28th July. Sam and Danni will cover. - Greg James will host his show until 11am from 21st July (Monday to Thursday only). - Mylo and Rosie, who previously hosted Hits Radio Breakfast in West Yorkshire, will host Friday EB in July. - Charley Marlowe of TikTok fame will host Friday EB in August. - Tskenya Frazer will host Life Hacks with Lauren Layfield in July, whilst Yinka Bikinni will host with Lauren in August. - Jamie Laing and Katie Thistleton will return to Going Home in September.
