Capital FM also aired Yle broadcasts about Finland in English and Russian, French and German.
The first programme lineup included the Voice of America in its light VOA Europe version, BBC World Service and Deutsche Welle in German.
Spanish was important as tens of thousands of Finnish nationals spent part of winters in Spain.
In the early 2000s, China Radio International in English, domestic services from Norway and Denmark, in Norwegian and Danish, South African Broadcasting Corporation SABC in English (via WRN) and the Vatican Radio in Italian had been added.
In the mid-1990s, the service was expanded, part-time, to five other Finnish cities where additional Yle frequencies were available.
