The anoraks at the 'other place' have been going into a meltdown speculating why Global have been using a legacy brand again for a playlist station.

And what's the problem with that? Harmless speculation and nostalgia hurts no one.

There's clearly still a lot of affection for Galaxy, almost 13 years after it was subsumed into Capital. How many other defunct radio brands can boast that level of affection and nostalgia so long after they were last on air? This shows just what a success Chrysalis radio made out of the Galaxy brand in the late 90s and 2000s, and it's a huge shame that Chrysalis decided to exit the radio market in 2007 because they had missed out on the consolidation that was happening in the radio industry in the mid-2000s.
