A recent survey conducted by a subsidiary of Colmar Brunton shows Capital Times readership is now 62,000 weekly.
There is consistently high awareness across the 21 – 59 age groups, both male and female and especially among professionals and managers (who have higher disposable incomes).
Fran Cole of the Lighthouse Cinema in Upper Hutt advised "I get just as much response from Capital Times as I was from other papers for half the price."
And reader Graeme Reid, one of us who now lives in Australia "I digested the writings of Capital Times and decided the contents were so enjoyable that you folks deserve a letter of congratulations."

Kaibosh rescues food from retailers that’s good enough to eat, but not good enough to sell, and redistributes it to charities working with the disadvantaged. The group wants people to miss a meal and instead donate the money they would have spent. It hopes to raise $20,000 for a walk-in cool room.
