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.

    • Good point - they could do best of Greg, Live Lounge, Matt and Mollie (not sure there were any best bits of Dean and Vicky) and Going Home. Of course if Going Home was included they'd have to start after Jordan left 😛 
    • Also, and not to be forgotten, compere of Matt and Molly's "Initial Reaction" 😁
    • I’m pretty sure they’ve already said it will be late January. Apparently Trevor let slip at some point that his show was starting at the end of Jan so I’m guessing all the changes will take place on January 27th?
    • I reckon Scott will be on on the 6th 
    • Take that back was 14th January so maybe there will be 2/3 weeks of Gaby covering
    • I see Gaby is covering breakfast so I assume she is covering the following week as well and Scott starts on like the 6th or something? do you remember when Zoe started it was like the 2nd or 3rd of Jan 2019 wasn't it?
    • Steffan Powell (former Radio 1 Newsbeat presenter/newsreader) is sitting in for Owain Wynn Evans on New Year's Day/2nd/3rd January. A few other schedule changes going into December: Shaun Keaveny in for Liza Tarbuck tonight (30th November) Tina Daheley in for Jeremy Vine on Tuesday 3rd December Jason Mohammed in for Owain on Friday 6th December. Romesh off again next week (7th) so Emma Willis sits in Nick Grimshaw in for Rylan on Saturday 14th, 21st and 28th (I assume he's in the following Saturday as well with Rylan still in Panto).
    • I do wish they’d do more with Christmas limbo week than just anthems. Been my complaint each year. Letting them do playlists and requests would actually be so much better or even if Radio 1 did favourite content from the year (guests, Big Weekend, features etc). I’ll be turning off for limbo week again 
    • To be honest  I don't think the first point is that important. But the Anthems thing at christmas is now really dull - this is now 6 years of it. I'd rather it was very playlisted and just text ins and shouts.
    • What do you think to my email to Aled?    Dear Aled. I hope you’re well. I just have a couple of queries regarding the Christmas schedules for Radio 1 that I hope you won’t mind answering. 1. What is the idea on the 23rd and 24th December cutting the shows to only 3 instead of 5 with Dean starting breakfast and both Lauren and Sam and Danni doing 4 hour shows? They are normal working days and I’d imagine the most fun to be working? I’d have early breakfast (cover) Dean atbreakfast, Lauren in mid morning and Sam or Danni to do afternoon and the other going home if you really couldn’t get other cover.  2. How come on the Christmas limbo week the only feature is anthems?  Why do the line up get to do the specialist shows but don’t get do their spin on the breakfast show, live lounge covers or other features. I get early breakfast being rested that week. Nadolig Llawen to everyone at Radio 1 and your family   
    • Pleased Christmas Day is at 7am as 8am is way too late.    New Year’s Day on the other hand should be no earlier than 7 
    • I’m surprised they’re going live as early as 6am on NYD - that feels very early considering last year it was 8am!
    • 1st January Updated 6am-10am: Radio 1 Workout Anthems with Connor Knight 10am-2pm: Radio 1 Workout Anthems with Ore Olukoga
    • Greg has a new BBC Sounds image for Christmas!
    • 2nd January: 6am - Sam & Danni 10am - TBC 2pm - Lauren Layfield 6pm - Jack Saunders 3rd January: 6am - Sam & Danni 10am - Nat O’Leary (no Anthems in the schedule yet) 2pm - Party Anthems with James Cusack 4pm - Chart with Jack Saunders 6pm - Danny Howard 8pm - Sarah Story
