Why did Smooth attract fewer listeners than Radio 3 and an AM station (Gold) in the capital if it was full of personality DJs? What changes should they have made to turn it around? They are the relevant questions here.
Kenny Everett is regularly mentioned on these forums and he did work with Richard Park at Capital for several years. If he was alive today he could still have been working with Park at Global.”

Mention was made of a heap of advertising and promotion of Smooth Radio in connection to its new appearance. But why has this not been going on already with as much vigour? I'm not aware of any advertising selling the Smooth Radio station anywhere. Is it advertised on the side of London buses for example? If not, why not?
