The station launched on 6 April 2019, following the merger of Capital Brighton and Capital South Coast.
The regional station originally broadcast as two separate stations.
On 26 February 2019, Global confirmed the two Capital stations would be merged, following Ofcom's decision to relax local content obligations from commercial radio.[2]
As of April 2019, regional output consists of a three-hour Drivetime show from Fareham on weekdays, alongside localised news bulletins, traffic updates and advertising for the two areas.[2]
All networked programming originates from Global's London headquarters, including Capital Breakfast.
Regional programming is produced and broadcast from Global's Fareham studios from 4-7pm on weekdays,[3] presented by Miranda Burns.
Global's Fareham newsroom broadcasts localised news updates hourly from 5am-7pm on weekdays and 6am-12pm at weekends. Separate bulletins are produced for Hampshire and Sussex. The Fareham newsroom also produces bulletins for Heart South.[3]
