Tracker Partner the One Network

The One Network have signed their first mid-morning promotion since networking programming across stations. The promotion, called Where Am I? is to promote the Tracker energy bar and will air across all One Network stations. The One Network’s newly networked, mid-morning slot hosted by Philippa Collins is the largest networked programme and second largest overall show in commercial radio, reaching an audience of nearly 3 million people every week. This will be the first time GCap has aired a promotion with access to such a large audience.

GCap Media: Shakeup of the One Network stations

The Capital 95.8 DJ Philippa Collins is the big winner in a shakeup of GCap Media's One Network of local radio stations. Collins, who currently presents the early breakfast show on the London station, will present a new networked late-morning slot between 10am and 1pm across the majority of the 42-strong One Network. The One Network schedule change also sees about 20 local DJs lose their slots.
