Capital XTRA (formerly Choice FM) is a British digital radio station owned and operated by Global.

Choice was flagged up as one of the key brands of the new larger network, and the station was made available to digital TV viewers via its addition to Sky (and later to Virgin Media).

On 3 October 2013, Global announced that Choice would be rebranded as Capital XTRA on 7 October, sister station to Capital and using a naming scheme in reference to BBC Radio 1 and its sister station Radio 1Xtra[5][6] A number of high-profile signings were made, at launch including former BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra DJ Tim Westwood,[7] and subsequently Kiss FM DJ Jez Welham for the station's flagship show, Capital XTRA In The Morning.

However, ratings, particularly in London, suffered, leading to a move back towards the mixture of primarily black music genres that is now heard on the station, which proved successful between 2014 and 2020 in the UK radio listening measurement system, RAJAR.

Evening show host Robert Bruce was subsequently confirmed to co-host the breakfast slot with incumbent presenter Shayna-Marie.
