Jodi & Dave - Rockingham
We have just discovered Capital Community Radio 101.7 FM. Turned
off commercial radio stations We both love the music played on
Capital Radio. We were a bit sceptical as some of your
presenters talk far too much, we are after the lovely music.
Denise - Kinross
Love listening to the Entertainer Allan Voak on Afternoon Gold
Programme and I miss hearing him on the Friday nights After
Hours Programme. Love it when he does the Saturday Night Jukebox
Programme. He always plays great music on his programmes. If
Allan is looking for a new wife, I’m available.

I'm so glad I found this radio station one day, it's how I was
put onto Talking Heads which is now one of my all-time favourite
bands! I love listening to the morning segments on my way to
work but the evening portions can be really funny too. I find
all the presenters extremely knowledgeable in their fields and
you can really feel their individual personalities shine through
each time they're on the air.
I've recommended the station to NUMEROUS friends at this point!
Frank was on the Air this morning and he was ESPECIALLY charming
today when he would forget something minor and say "Wake up
Frank!" and I practically chortled with his "interruptive guest"
(I forget the name) who kept calling him Francis - the skit made
me chuckle quite a lot. Keep up the good work, this station
never ceases to make me smile. :)

Tim - Evington, Virginia, USA
At 4:54 PM Eastern Time I heard you play "The Wreck of the Old
97". Very interesting as I was born in Danville and now work in
Lynchburg. I also commute to work on the road that replaced the
rail line that the Old 97 ran on. Goes to show that it is a
small world after all.
Keep playing the classic tunes.

What a lunch I have had... not the food but ... hearing two
songs by Dana Winner in Dutch, my mother tongue!! And it is not
even my birthday!!
THANK YOU!
It is especially important for me right now as I was down in the
dumps this morning, the symptoms of my Parkinson's having
inexplicably worsened these last few days. Hearing Dana Winner
singing in Dutch (like Dana, I was born in Belgium) was the
tonic I needed to carry on with a smile, no matter what. THANK
YOU!!
(After another song)
... now you've got me in tears!! A song in French, I think by
Nana Mouskouri, is playing... my second language back in
Belgium! I feel so fortunate, so... happy, thanks to your radio
station, which, may I add, has been a trusted friend ever since
we moved to Australia from Belgium. But this... I can walk with
greater ease right now, the disabling disease conquered for a
while or so it seems... thanks to good old (?!) Capital Digital
Radio!

Rick and Julie - Perth WA
My wife and I have a radio at home that has 3 stations
programmed into it: ABC FM, Capital FM and Curtin FM.
Depending on the programme we alternate mainly between Capital
and Curtin. Saturday afternoon used to be Curtin as my wife
likes country music, but I have convinced her to swing over to
Capital with the Grand Daddy of Perth music (his comment) Allan
Watson. We both love his music but even more his presentation.
My wife also likes to listen to Tony on Saturday mornings as he
sometimes interviews her sister Faith who is a well known
pianist. John Furman is another favourite. John's daughter is a
good friend of our daughter.
We do a lot of country deliveries and in the past I have used
Spotify to cover the areas where we can't pick up Capital.
Recently I have begun streaming Capital and we are loving it.
The only frustration is when the phone goes into buffering mode.
Julie and I have decided we would like to become Capital members
and will complete the application process.
Keep up the great work.
Cheers
