Gold is a network of oldies radio stations which was formed by the merger of the Capital Gold network and the Classic Gold Network in August 2007. The Capital Gold network started in London in 1988 on Capital Radio's AM frequency, as the British Government urged radio stations to end simulcasting and threatening to remove one of their frequencies if simulcasting continued. The original DJs included Tony Blackburn, Kenny Everett and David Hamilton. Like BBC Radio 2 Gold aim their music at people aged 50 or over. However, in the last few years there has been a noticeable shift in general daytime programming from playing classic artists such as Sinatra, Presley, 'King' Cole, Como etc in favour of more contemporary artists of the last 15 years or so, thus capturing yesterday's teenagers now today's thirtysomethings.
