GCap have announced they are taking the production of its Hit 40 UK chart show, syndicated across a number of radio groups, in house, ending its four year relationship with independent production house Somethin Else.
Confirming and explaining the decision, the Guardian quote GCap Head Of Network Sales Kirk Vallis thus: "Somethin' Else have done an amazing job, but at the moment we are not capitalising on GCap's expertise and resource. There are so many different forms of music in the chart, no one has the level of resource in all the different music genres as GCap, with stations such as Choice, Xfm and Classic FM. If someone comes in for an interview [with Capital breakfast DJ] Johnny Vaughan then the producer should be there grabbing an interview for Hit 40 UK. It is all about producing the best show, and under GCap it can be at its best".
