                          2001 AGM TRADING STATEMENT

Revenue for October to December 2000 increased by 12% reflecting the
acquisitions we made last year. Our like for like revenues increased by 4%. We
expect similar increases in revenues for the quarter January to March 2001.

In order to achieve our long term strategic objectives we are making increased
investment in digital radio and strategic marketing, as well as our continuing
investment in Xfm and Interactive. These planned levels of expenditure were
announced in November last year and will be reflected in our half year
results.

Although we remain cautious regarding current trends in the advertising
market, we believe the longer term prospects for radio advertising are very
positive. Capital Radio is the UK's leading analogue and digital radio company
and with a balanced portfolio of established and new stations we are well
placed to deliver future growth.
