One of my favourite hobbies is listening to the Radio Station as I love listening to music. One of my favourite Radio Station is Capital FM. which is owned and operated by Global Radio.

It plays all the latest hit music, artists news, music events and many more. It is hosted by many different presenters such as Will Cozens, Rich Clarke, Craig David and more.
