Someone might have done a mistake Mark Goodier is listed for next Monday from 10am on Smooth Radio
And Lynn Parsons is listed to do Sundays from 10am.

Lynn used to freelance between R2 and Smooth on odd days, perhaps she wants time off in the week and as Mark has no R2 shows next week he has offered to come back to Smooth to cover for her?
But I suspect it is the website schedule not being updated?

It has just been mentioned on air that a new Smooth Radio jingle package goes live from Monday morning. Can't find them online yet, though.

Carlos tweeted about them. " They have an Anglo American sounding "

I wonder if they will be similar to Global jingles?

Interesting - would they have spent money on new jingles at this stage if the intention is to merge (or replace) the station with Gold?

Is this a strong hint that Smooth will survive whatever the outcome of the enquiry?

Hope so as I do enjoy smooth. I just wish they would get radio radio apps like the global apps.

There is a Smooth Radio app available - see this link. Don't know how it compares with the Global ones though.

Condolences to Carlos, there's a lengthy facebook post on his facebook show page announcing the sad news that his mum passed away on Friday (4th Jan) and that he will be stepping away from the microphone for a while for him , Claire and Martha to grieve.

Has Pat Sharp gone? Looks like Daryl Denham is taking Weekend Breakfast.

Seems Pat will take over drive from Carlos, who will move to evenings so Andy Peebles will move to weekends?

It's interesting to see that while Real is being cut back, it's full steam ahead for Smooth with new jingles and new weekend shows/documentaries. It's hard to predict what's going to happen to this station under Global, but for now it seems to be business as usual unlike Real.

I'm not surprised Pat is moving from weekends. Shame Andy is only going to one day a week, similar to what happened at Radio 1. I suppose Carlos will be stronger in the evenings. I wonder if this is getting ready for Global swap? ( If that's happening ?) I only heard a few new jingles.

Do you think Andy may do his soul train show live rather than recorded as it is now ?

It's a good point, and it does make me wonder if Global will offer the sale of Smooth in order to get the deal pushed through so they can get on with the rebrand of the Real stations.

I think Celador and UTV will be among the bidders so Global will get a good price for it.

Shame David Jensen wasn't moved, but that might still happen.

Agreed but I do like Carlos so it will be nice to hear him in the evenings and I never rated pat sharp on weekend brekkie so this will make a nice change. Hopefully smooth is here to stay.

Yes i agree 6 hours overnight is a long slog compared to 3 hour slots during the day.

And double their costs at a time when no-one's listening? Not likely.
