Capital Derbyshire Radio

Capital Derbyshire is the Derbyshire edition of Capital East Midlands, with current hit music and shared entertainment programmes. The county connection is carried through the regional service, whose reporting includes public affairs and practical information alongside the network's pop-culture output.

The East Midlands archive includes Derby-related football and court stories, transport planning around HS2 and developments in neighbouring Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire. That spread reflects the shared regional newsroom rather than a service restricted to Derby city. Local stories sit beside wider political and national developments, while weather and travel address everyday conditions. The county edition combines that information role with a music schedule built around recent records and named presenters.

Derbyshire's Capital schedule includes the shared breakfast team of Jordan North, Chris Stark and Sian Welby, with music and interviews rather than a news-only morning format. Kemi Rodgers and Aimee Vivian supply other daytime shows, followed by Will Manning. Those named programmes give the county edition the same recognisable hit-music presentation as the wider network.

The later line-up moves through Jimmy Hill's celebrity conversation and Sonny Jay's late programme. Weekend dance mixes are presented by Kem Cetinay and Lee Juggurnauth on The Capital Weekender, while Will Manning hosts the EE Official Big Top 40. The chart programme and the DJ mixes develop different sides of contemporary popular music, supplementing the weekday sequence of records and presenter-led entertainment.
