history
The group was founded in 2007 by Ashley Tabor with the financial help of his father Michael Tabor, a bookmaker and racing team owner . He was financially supported by a group of investors. Among them were u. a. Irish horse racing businessmen such as entrepreneur and racing team owner JP McManus and racing team owner John Magnier. Global is registered in the Jersey Tax Haven as Global Radio Group Limited . The company, now active as a media company, was founded in 2007 in London as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Global Radio Group Limited . The London company was initially called This is Global Limited and changed its name to the more programmatic title Global Media & Entertainment Limited in February 2017 .
As a first action, the company took over the radio company Chrysalis Radio in 2007 for 170 million pounds and incorporated its radio stations and its brands Heart , Galaxy , LBC and The Arrow .
The company expanded its portfolio to include the television channels Heart TV and Capital TV . Both programs are produced “in-house” directly by Global.
Networks
Global gradually took over long-established private radio stations in the United Kingdom and merged a number of other stations in networks.
LBC
LBC was founded under the name London Broadcasting Company as the first commercial radio station in the United Kingdom and began operating on October 8, 1973. The station was Britain's first purely commercial talk radio station . In addition to London's leading commercial morning show, it also broadcasts a live talk show hosted by the founder of right-wing populist UKIP , Nigel Farage . On the London radio market, the station leads BBC 5 Live with a market share of 5.6% to 4.3%. On February 11, 2014, LBC became the UK's first private UKW station to broadcast nationwide via DAB .
From 2007 to 2014 the abbreviation stood for London's Biggest Conversation , and since it was broadcast nationwide in 2014 it has been interpreted as Leading Britain's Conversation .
Capital FM
Capital FM is a group of radio stations playing a hit radio format. Capital Radio went on air as the island's second commercial station after LBC in October 1973. Today's group emerged from the merger of various commercial stations. Since then, all stations in the network have identified themselves as Capital FM and UK No. 1 Hit Music Station . Local news programs and the distribution of advertising time remained with the stations; all other parts of the program come from the Capital Network studio in Leicester Square , London. Capital FM has also been broadcast nationwide via DAB since 2016 .
