Hysterical listening to the very early days of Capital (from Oct 1973). Richard Attenborough (Company Chairman) said in interviews that they spent a fortune in marketing before the first broadcast, thinking this what people wanted to hear. Turns out they didn’t, and no one was listening with the company nearly going bust. Luckily by the summer of 1974, they’d steadied the ship by playing to their strengths of promoting dj’s with more personality and playing more hit records and less chat. Over the years it became one of the most successful commercial radio stations in Europe (not just the UK), destroying Radio 1’s audience share not only within London but whole of the South East of England. This Capital Radio was a classic and not to be confused with the corporate entity that has its name today.

I understand there was quite a bit of animosity between Capital and Radio 1 later on over who got the first air play of new songs.
