Smooth FM

Smooth Radio - Love Life. Love music.

Playing the best music from the past five decades and today

Smooth Radio is the network which loves life and loves music just the way our audience does.

Smooth Radio targets 40-59 year olds – the generation that shaped popular music.  Smooth reflects the best times of their life.  It has an upbeat character, generous spirit and a warm personality.  On Smooth Radio, there’s no mindless chatter, no irate callers, just entertaining guests occasionally popping in.  Smooth wouldn’t interrupt the music for anything else!

Each song we play is a life landmark. We span the greatest music from the past five decades and today – we don't have to talk about nostalgia, the songs unlock the best times of our life. Smooth Radio's network programming also provides compelling content for listeners with big name presenters such as Tony Blackburn, Mark Goodier and Andy Peebles, as well as our ongoing series of documentaries.

Reaching 2.6 million adults (RAJAR Q1 10) across 6 stations, Smooth Radio can now be heard on analogue in London (102.2), Northwest (100.4), Smooth Northeast (97.5 & 107.7), West Midlands (105.7), East Midlands (106.6), Glasgow and the West (105.2) and Northeast (97.5 & 107.7), as well as on Sky, Freeview and online at www.smoothradio.com.
