Capital Preston and Blackburn Radio

Capital Preston and Blackburn is a Lancashire edition of the Capital music network. Its audience setting brings the two towns into a county-wide information service, while the entertainment programme concentrates on current popular songs, interviews and familiar network voices.

The Lancashire news archive has followed stories in Preston, Accrington and Haslingden, together with M61 road incidents and community-health topics. That range shows the regional connection behind the station's paired-town identity. Public safety, transport and local sport-related subjects accompany UK and world developments. The service publishes a Lancashire newsroom contact, allowing the county's reporting to sit alongside a music programme whose guests and songs are drawn from a much wider stage.

Preston and Blackburn's edition carries Jordan North, Chris Stark and Sian Welby on Capital Breakfast, with interviews and conversation around the current songs. Kemi Rodgers, Aimee Vivian and Will Manning provide the main daytime sequence. These shared programmes form the entertainment service for a Lancashire audience, rather than implying a separate studio show for each of the two towns.

The evening line-up includes Jimmy Hill and Sonny Jay, while The Capital Weekender gives dance mixes a prominent place at the weekend. Kem Cetinay and Lee Juggurnauth present that club-oriented strand. Will Manning's EE Official Big Top 40 adds a weekly countdown, connecting the station's current-hit identity with the changing popularity of songs. The county connection and the national music programme remain complementary parts of the edition.
