Digital Spy: Capital Disney to close next month

Story from Digital Spy:

Kids' radio station Capital Disney will cease broadcasting on June 29.
A joint venture between GCap Media and the Walt Disney Company, the station has been on DAB radio for five years, and also on Virgin TV.

A statement from GCap said that: "The companies' individual goals have evolved over the last 5 years and both companies have now agreed to pursue their interests separately."

Breakfast presenter Matt James read the statement out on air before 8am this morning. The last day of live broadcasting will be Friday June 1, with non-stop music playing out for the remainder of the time.

As for what will happen to the vacant spectrum, GCap has said the situation is under review.

Aimed at eight to 14 year olds, the station has a weekly reach of 175,000 listeners aged four and above.

You can hear Capital Disney on Virgin TV Channel 960.
