First up, we have Will Manning taking over as the brand new host of the Official Big Top 40 which relaunches exclusively on Capital and Heart on Sunday 6th January.

The Official Big Top 40 is the UK’s biggest chart show with over 2.1 million listeners – so we can’t wait to see which stars Will is going to be handing the coveted number 1 trophy to in 2019!

The rest of the schedule will launch on Monday 7th January, with Lauren Layfield joining the station to host early breakfast from 4am-6am, before handing over to Capital Breakfast with Roman Kemp (in London) from 6am-10am.

2019 will also see Will Manning move from his hugely successful Capital London drivetime show after two and a half years to take over mid-mornings from 10am-1pm on the Capital network as well as the Big Top 40 on Sundays.

Aimee Vivian will be hosting afternoons from 1pm-4pm as well as her Sunday morning show from 6am-9am too, while Ant Payne takes over Capital London Drive, getting Londoners home from 4pm-7pm on weekdays.

Jimmy Hill will be launching the brand new Capital Evening Show from 7pm Monday – Thursday, showcasing the freshest artist interviews, the hot 7@7 with Apple Music and SO much more!

Marvin Humes will still be dropping the biggest hits and mixes on the Capital Late Show from 10pm-1am on Monday-Thursday and there’s SO much more on our jam-packed schedule.

Ashley Tabor OBE, Founder & Executive President of Global, said, “This new Capital schedule is particularly exciting. It’s fantastic to see fresh new talent moving up the card at Capital, giving the station new, appointment-to-listen shows in each key daypart.

“I’m also excited to give the Official Big Top 40 Chart, the biggest and most listened chart show, a new feel for 2019.”
