Capital Radio

Some of his first shows went out only on medium wave, because Capital were then broadcasting "adult" rock music on FM while mainstream chart music was played on MW. However this soon ceased, the MW transmitters were given over to oldies station Capital Gold, and the FM service became Capital FM. By the early 1990s, Fox was one of Capital FM's most popular DJs, and in 1993 he was given the show that was to make him famous throughout the UK - the Sunday-afternoon Network Chart which had previously been hosted by David Jensen. During Fox's tenure this show - which was initially called the Pepsi Network Chart before becoming simply the Pepsi Chart in 1996 and then hit40uk, sponsored by Woolworths, in 2003 - overtook the official Top 40 show on BBC Radio 1, broadcast at exactly the same time, in terms of audience share.
