There are occasions within both the Global and Bauer networks when stations will opt out entirely and do an extra local show - usually if it's justifiable editorially.
Capital in South Wales (granted, a Communicorp franchise) usually does a four-hour OB on Wales rugby matchdays, live from a pub in Cardiff city centre - one thing that marks them out a little from the rest of the network is a stronger focus on sport.
Some of Bauer's local stations make a habit of it - Hits Radio Manchester recently opted out for seven hours on FA Cup Final day (and opted out again for the Champions League final a week later)
