95.8 Capital FM - The Package
London’s Number 1 Hit Music Station, Global Radio’s 95.8 Capital FM have been airing our latest custom produced radio ID package for some time now and it is FINALLY time to share it with the rest of the world!
The package is built on 16 music themes in bed, ramp and out of break form alongside a news, weather and travel sequence for all your top of hour needs. In addition, there are 3 breakfast themes and a comprehensive bespoke kit for Capital’s promotion of the Summertime Ball that has been delivered completely deconstructed to build up into promos for just about anything one might need.
Also sung and produced at the same time as London’s 95.8 Capital FM are syndicated versions for the Hit Music Network: Red Dragon FM in Wales, Leicester Sound, Ram FM and Trent FM with Mercury FM airing an instrumental version of the package.
The following blurb was posted at the conclusion of the marathon vocal recording sessions held March with vocalists and delegates here from London, Dallas, Philadelphia and Seattle:
After months of planning, writing and recording IQ Beats are extremely proud to announce our latest custom music-imaging package for the world famous 95.8 Capital FM is now on air.
When new owners Global Radio took the reigns of one of the most well know stations in the world, it was their top priority to get the station moving forward once again. After getting a vision from Director of Broadcasting Richard Park, it was onto the plane for Steven, Patrick and Michael and a visit to the legendary studios in London’s Leicester Square to spend the day at Capital and really get a feel for the station.
It was an unusually early start for the boys (not normally seen till lunchtime), but well worth it after the good times sitting in with Johnny Vaughan and Lisa Snowdon on the Capital Breakfast Show
The brief was taken from Capital’s Programme Director Paul Jackson and over the course of the project we have been incredibly fortunate to have nearly unlimited access to Richard Park and Group CEO Ashley Tabor, both of which have provided valuable input on this project. Access to so many experienced and passionate individuals has resulted in what can only be described as a breathtaking array of cuts, beds, logos, talk-overs and IDs with our 95.8 Capital FM package for 2009 being one of our strongest to date.
Check out the original post here for some fun pictures from the session too.

I’ve been waiting from the sidelines, and I’ll be the first to comment here and say… thank you for finally uploading this. Sounds good!

Thanks Niko!
Ironically, these cuts have been uploaded and ready to go since April. As stated before, we respectfully wait to receive the green light “to go live” on the site from our clients. Thank you for your patience everyone.

FANTASTIC! Is there any chance of you guys posting the “live from Leicester Square” cuts or the breakfast re-sings of the normal shotguns?

Love the backing tracks. Works well with the the deep voice over.
Nice

Now this is what a CHR station should sound like - not like the crap that was produced for UTV GB’s Top 40 stations in 2008.
