Galaxy was rebranded as Capital North East on 3 January 2011 as part of a merger of Global Radio's Galaxy and Hit Music networks to form the nine-station Capital radio network. Furnell and Wight were retained at the relaunched station.
On 14 July 2011, Metro Radio breakfast presenter Tony Horne left, prior to his contract ending. Furnell and Wight were announced as his replacements two months later, remaining at Capital until 23 December 2011. The Steve & Karen Breakfast Show aired on Metro for the first time on 6 June 2012 after 5 months of being off-air due to a clause in the contracts issued by their previous employers, Global Radio.
