Capital South is a regional radio station owned and operated by Global Radio as part of the Capital radio network. It broadcasts to Brighton and Hove, Hampshire and Sussex from studios in Segensworth, Fareham.
The station launched in April 2019 as a result of a merger between Capital Brighton and Capital South Coast.
Overview
The regional station originally broadcast as two separate stations.
- Ocean Sound began broadcasting to Hampshire in October 1986, after taking over the licence previously held by Radio Victory. It was subsequently relaunched as Power FM in December 1988, before becoming part of the Galaxy network in November 2008 and latterly, the Capital network in January 2011.
- Surf 107 began broadcasting to Brighton and Hove in March 1998, subsequently relaunching as Juice FM in 2001. It became part of the Capital network in September 2018, after the station was sold to Global.
On 26 February 2019, Global confirmed the two Capital stations would be merged, following Ofcom's decision to relax local content obligations from commercial radio.[1]
As of April 2019, regional output consists of a three-hour Drivetime show from Fareham on weekdays, alongside localised news bulletins, traffic updates and advertising for the two areas.[2]
Programming
All networked programming originates from Global Radio's London headquarters, including the Vodafone Big Top 40 on Sunday afternoons, simulcast with the sister Heart Network.
Regional programming is produced and broadcast from Capital's Fareham studios from 4-7pm on weekdays,[3] presented by Miranda Burns and Dave Goodings.
News
Capital South broadcasts hourly local news updates from 6am-7pm on weekdays and 6am-12pm at weekends with headlines on the half-hour during Capital Breakfast on weekdays. Separate bulletins are produced for Hampshire and Sussex.
The Fareham newsroom also produces bulletins for Heart South Coast.[3]
