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. :)

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
