Capital South Coast Radio

Capital South Coast is a regional contemporary-music service for listeners along England's southern coast. It combines popular songs, interviews and shared network entertainment with news and information connected with the communities around Hampshire and the neighbouring coastal area.

Its reporting archive includes Portsmouth, Southampton and the Isle of Wight. Subjects have ranged from the Cowes floating bridge and coastal rescues to Gosport hospital reporting and incidents in Eastleigh and Waterlooville. That mixture illustrates a coastal news agenda covering transport, health and public safety. The station's regional information has a different purpose from its music shows: it follows life in the area while the entertainment programme draws on the broader world of popular music.

The South Coast service carries Capital Breakfast with Jordan North, Chris Stark and Sian Welby, followed through the day by voices including Kemi Rodgers, Aimee Vivian and Will Manning. Their shows combine current records with conversation and entertainment. The coastal audience setting remains a regional part of the service even though these programmes are shared across Capital.

Jimmy Hill's evening programme brings celebrity guests into the musical mix, and Sonny Jay takes the late slot. The Capital Weekender gives dance a stronger emphasis through Kem Cetinay and Lee Juggurnauth's mixes. Sunday's EE Official Big Top 40 adds a chart countdown with Will Manning. The resulting schedule offers more than a single uninterrupted stream of songs, with presenter personality and different musical formats shaping the week.
