Capital 95.8 FM

On the radio in the kitchen, on the radio in my bedroom, on the alarm clock in my bedroom, and on my Sky Digital telly on channel 925. These are the four place in my house where Capital FM will regularly be found blaring out the top chart hits.

However, I also feel that Capital has started to lean even more towards it's younger ...  Read the complete review
