Originally, the broadcasting licence was awarded to Alt Services, an organisation created by Alternattiva Demokratika, a nascent local political party that espouses environmentally responsible policies.
Since October 2005 Capital Radio has been housed in a state of the art complex in St. Ursula Street, Valletta.
Since then, Capital Radio continued to transmit non-stop music from all pop genres from the 1980s up to the 2000s, until the new management took over and began its own broadcasting.
With a heavy focus on 1980s music, Capital Radio was quite popular with listeners in the 25-45 age bracket.
Capital Radio also organised social events, such as the station's birthday bash every summer.
