GCap reduces local programming across stations

GCap Media is to increase the number of networked shows across its 42 local radio stations, reports MediaGuardian.

The move follows a relaxation of broadcasting regulator Ofcom’s rules on the amount of local programming that must be broadcast by radio stations.

New weekday and weekend shows will be rolled out across GCap’s One Network, which includes Capital 95.8 in London and BRMB in Birmingham.
