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.

      Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter.

      Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?

      Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.

      Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!

      R1 to R2 transfers

      I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days

      Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.

      With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.

      Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now
