Capital Cymru Goes 100% Local

Capital Cymru has opted to drop networked programmes, and instead provide a 100% local service.

Dafydd Griffith joins the staion to present a new 10am to 2pm show, alongside existing breakfast and afternoon shows presented by Alistair James and Kev Bach respectively. The Big Top 40 will still run, but all other networked shows have been dropped in favour of automated music.

Capital Cymru has additional license requirements in order to providing Welsh language programmes. The station launched as Champion 103 in 1998, and has also operated under the Heart brand.

The new schedule is unusual, as the station is owned by Global, who are currently discarding of most of their local programmes.

Note: As this station is owned by the dominant monopoly Global, Capital Cymru does NOT qualify for a listing within the station guide of this website, despite now being a genuine local station.
