Smooth East Midlands Radio

Smooth East Midlands combines familiar popular music with information for a regional audience across the East Midlands. Recognisable songs from different years form the musical foundation, with presented shows and quieter evening strands giving the programme a changing pace.

The broadcaster publishes a dedicated East Midlands newsroom contact and describes local stories within a wider mix of national and world news. Sport, weather and entertainment also enter those bulletins, connecting the music-led day with events beyond the studio. Elton John is among the artists appearing in its published song information, an example of the melodic mainstream repertoire. The regional news operation and the shared presenter line-up contribute distinct elements: one addresses the area, while the other supplies Smooth's wider entertainment service.

The East Midlands schedule carries Smooth Breakfast with Jenni Falconer, Kate Garraway's morning music and afternoon programmes from Paul Phear and Angie Greaves. Garraway's opening non-stop hour gives songs a concentrated place within the presented day. The regional service accompanies these network shows with its East Midlands audience and information context, rather than a separately produced show for every city.

The evening becomes more reflective through The Smooth Sanctuary with Darren Parks, followed by Martin Collins on The Smooth Late Show. Weekend voices include Adil Ray, Tina Hobley, Myleene Klass and Eamonn Kelly. The station therefore combines recognisable popular songs with a changing line-up of presenters, while its quieter evening strands maintain a distinct musical direction within the broader Smooth repertoire.
