The station aired in 2001 under the name of Cube (the name originally chosen for Century London) in several regional areas of England and Wales with a purely new pop music format aimed at young teens.
Cube was noted for its high tempo music-driven formula, coupled with live DJs (A rarity for digital radio- most were voicetracked) and humorous and informative short clips in between the music (Such as 'How Does a Piano Work?')
designed to create a learning environment, possibly to curb outside criticism that Cube was just a mindless music station.
[citation needed] Capital Disney started to leave DAB multiplexes across the UK in June 2007, in most areas being replaced with Traffic Radio or XFM.
In an unintentional move, the final song played by Capital Disney on this DAB MUX was McFly with their cover of Queen's Don't Stop Me Now.
The final line up of presenters at closure was Adam Morris, known on air as The General, James Beckingham, Matt James, Val Mellon, Leigh Purves, Nigel Mitchell, Andrew Rendle, known as Radio Rendle, Adam O'Neill, Saffron Oddy and Sophie Bruce.
The judges noted that, "Capital Disney gave every appearance of filling a genuine gap in the market with a professional and entertaining service directly meeting the needs of an under-served audience."
The judges noted that, "Capital Disney continues to be warm, funny and inventive without ever patronising its target audience.
