Capital Leicester Radio

Capital Leicester is the Leicestershire edition of Capital East Midlands. The station pairs a current-hit music format with presented entertainment and reporting for a county audience, while participating in the wider network's celebrity, dance and chart programmes.

Its East Midlands news archive has included Leicester court reporting, incidents at Twinlakes and school-meal provision in Nottingham. Transport planning, including HS2, has also featured. Those examples show a regional newsroom following several counties rather than limiting every report to Leicester itself. The Leicestershire edition brings that coverage to its named audience, with local affairs and practical information forming a different strand from Capital's shared pop-culture entertainment.

Capital's Leicestershire service includes the breakfast partnership of Jordan North, Chris Stark and Sian Welby, whose programme combines interviews, humour and current music. Kemi Rodgers, Aimee Vivian and Will Manning give the daytime schedule further presented structure. The county edition participates in that network output, with its local news audience distinct from the location where a shared show is made.

Jimmy Hill's evening programme centres on songs and celebrity conversation, and Sonny Jay presents the late show. At the weekend, Kem Cetinay and Lee Juggurnauth put dance tracks into the mix on The Capital Weekender. The EE Official Big Top 40, presented by Will Manning, adds a Sunday countdown. These strands keep the service rooted in popular music while giving interviews, personalities and chart movement identifiable places.
