Otherwise a very astute commentry on what may or may not happen this coming Monday. It will certainly be interesting to see what Fru has to say for herself and GCap. “Staff morale will not be very good – telling a load of radio people that the future’s the internet won’t be very motivating.”

But, as a strategy, though, isn't your vision just a case of "managing decline"? The rump of Gcap becomes Classic (mature), One network (declining), Capital (struggling), Xfm (niche). How does the company grow in that scenario? Isn't putting all prospects of growth onto online just as likely as putting all prospects of growth onto DAB?
