Capital Teesside Radio

Capital Teesside is a North East edition of Capital, carrying contemporary pop and dance alongside a presented entertainment schedule. Teesside forms part of its regional news audience, with the information service reaching into the wider North East rather than following only national celebrity stories.

The regional archive includes Hartlepool public-safety reporting, community-health funding and transport disruption elsewhere in the North East. Football is another strand, with Newcastle United coverage appearing beside stories from Sunderland and surrounding towns. These examples describe subjects the newsroom has followed, rather than today's headlines. They place Teesside within a wider regional editorial setting while the shared music programmes retain Capital's national hit format.

The Teesside edition follows Capital's shared hit-music schedule, including breakfast with Jordan North, Chris Stark and Sian Welby. Their show adds interviews and humour to the records, with Kemi Rodgers, Aimee Vivian and Will Manning presenting other parts of the weekday. This network line-up accompanies the regional service rather than being produced separately for each Teesside town.

Evening entertainment comes through Jimmy Hill and Sonny Jay, while weekend mixes give dance music a larger role. Kem Cetinay and Lee Juggurnauth present The Capital Weekender, and Will Manning hosts the EE Official Big Top 40. The countdown and mix programmes offer different ways into the contemporary repertoire, making the station a presented pop service with distinct weekly features as well as a regional audience connection.
