Yes its so depressing from the jingles to the music. Even Magic makes smooth sound very poor. At least magic mix the music up rather than being sleepy all day.

Some listeners on the Facebook page are complaining about an advert for Make Some Noise donations which supposedly says "shame on you" to listeners who don't donate. Has anyone heard this?
Meanwhile, North West listeners are objecting to Smooth running adverts for The Sun, which is still boycotted on Merseyside due to the lies printed about the Hillsborough disaster. |

How lovely for him.Starting on a Thursday?..Yeh...logical......Or is this gardening leave and a starting date working out to a midweek start? What days is he supposed to be doing.,website says hes on every day for the next week. It'll probably be recorded in that case. If not.why can't radio stations get their websites right??....No photo of him either.

Danny is presenting Late Night Love Songs Monday to Friday evenings from 10pm to 1am. Weekends it looks like it is still non stop without a presenter which is a shame.

On Twitter it said "Join Paul Phear for your Saturday Night Smooth Sanctuary". What about the British Songbook?

Me too!! I notice they are playing a bit more modern stuff now- Stereophonics, Emily Sande and that song called Never Expecting that.
I think it does sound a bit more upbeat too during the daytimes- I think the show with the least chat still is Paul Phear weekdays - he hardly says anything. I wonder why this is? It's just nearly all large sweeps of music. |

I am sure "Global big wigs" visit their stations on a regular basis.
Nice to know you know everything that's going on though ; ) |

All they need to do is change the playlist in the evenings. Smooth sanctuary and Love songs is tedious but no doubt millions love it
