Capital Tyne and Wear Radio

Capital Tyne and Wear brings the network's current-hit format to a North East audience centred on Newcastle, Sunderland and surrounding communities. Popular music and presenter entertainment run alongside regional news, sport, travel and weather information.

Published North East coverage has followed Metro closures between South Shields and Chichester, Newcastle United developments and incidents in Sunderland. The archive also includes stories from Hebburn and further south in the region. Transport and football therefore sit beside public-safety reporting within the service's editorial mix. These historical examples show the area addressed by its journalism without suggesting that each shared music programme is produced separately in Tyne and Wear.

Capital Breakfast brings Jordan North, Chris Stark and Sian Welby to the Tyne and Wear service with music, interviews and conversation. Kemi Rodgers and Aimee Vivian continue the daytime presentation, followed by Will Manning. The regional edition joins those network shows while retaining its North East audience setting; it is not a separate Newcastle-only production of the whole schedule.

Jimmy Hill and Sonny Jay provide the evening and late-night voices. The Capital Weekender changes the musical emphasis towards dance, with mixes from Kem Cetinay and Lee Juggurnauth, and Sunday's EE Official Big Top 40 gives listeners a countdown of popular songs. Together, these programmes combine celebrity entertainment, current releases and club-oriented music within the broader Capital hit format.
