GCap's digital rock station The Storm will go off the air on 23 Jan to make way for sister station Xfm. Launched five years ago, The Storm was part of GWR's original digital radio package, broadcasting on digital, online and via Sky. However, as part of the post-merger consolidation at GCap, which saw the Capital owned Scottish youth station Beat 106 also rebranded as Xfm this month, The Storm is to go - offering Xfm additional national exposure on digital. A version of The Storm will stay in the short term on digital in London, Bristol and Wolverhampton where Xfm already has a digital outlet, but that will be a back to back music service. GWR's other digital service, Core, is unaffected by the change at The Storm.
