Capital South


Capital South is a regional radio station owned and operated by Global as part of the Capital network. It broadcasts to Hampshire and Sussex from studios in Segensworth, Fareham.
The station launched on 6 April 2019, replacing Capital Brighton and Capital South Coast.

Overview

The regional station originally broadcast as two separate stations.
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.
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.

Programming

All networked programming originates from Global's London headquarters, including Capital Breakfast with Roman Kemp.
Regional programming is produced and broadcast from Global's Fareham studios from 4-7pm on weekdays, presented by Miranda Burns and Dave Goodings.

News

Global's Fareham newsroom broadcasts localised news updates hourly 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.
