Graham Dene Michael Aspel Capital Radio Reunion Oct 2023
Michael Aspel returns to lead a day of special programmes on Boom Radio to mark the 50th anniversary of commercial radio.
Michael hosted Capital Radio’s morning show in London from 1974 – 1984 and joins fellow early Capital presenter Graham Dene on-air on Boom Radio on Sunday October 8th.
“It’s been far too long. I took no dragging back to radio at all, believe me. I miss it very much,” said Aspel.
Capital launched in October 1973, just a week after London’s LBC, bringing commercial radio at last to the UK.
LBC was first in the chain of nineteen local stations launched through the 1970s. Whilst the early stations were well-received by listeners in their towns and cities in those dramatic, pioneering days, breaking a fifty-year BBC monopoly at last, the economic climate was tough for the fledgling local independent businesses.
