Capital UK

Capital is the UK's number one hit music station, owned by Global. The programme combines the biggest pop, dance, R&B and hip hop hits of the moment with lively breakfast and drivetime shows, entertainment news, competitions and interviews with stars. The sound is bright, fast and aimed at young adults, and the brand is famous for events such as the Jingle Bell Ball.

The United Kingdom has one of the most developed radio markets in the world, with the BBC, large commercial groups and a growing number of online-only stations, and British radio is heard by listeners far beyond the country through the internet. It belongs to Global, the group behind Capital, Heart, Smooth, Classic FM, LBC and Gold. As a commercial service, it carries advertising and promotional messages between programmes. The stream is delivered as AAC at 48 kbps, a very low bitrate that keeps data use minimal and is adequate for speech, although the sound is thin and not suited to music. This is a low-bandwidth stream that uses very little data. It plays in your browser on RadioKite without installation, and you can add it to your favourites.
