Smooth Kent Radio

Smooth Kent is the Kent edition of a music service built around familiar songs and melodic popular recordings. Presented programmes accompany the selection through the day, with softer music receiving a more concentrated place in the evening rather than defining every hour identically.

The county service's published news remit combines Kent stories with national and international developments, sport, weather and entertainment. This keeps an information connection with the area alongside shows shared across Smooth. The network also supports smaller charities through Global's Make Some Noise, adding a community-focused activity beyond its music programme. Together these elements give the Kent edition a regional news setting, a broad familiar-song repertoire and a continuing presenter framework, rather than a format limited to one musical decade.

Kent's programme includes Smooth Breakfast with Jenni Falconer and Kate Garraway's morning show, which opens with an hour of continuous music. Paul Phear and Angie Greaves provide the afternoon presentation. These are network shows carried by the county edition, with the Kent audience and news setting sitting alongside the shared entertainment rather than a promise of separate local production at every hour.

Later listening includes The Smooth Sanctuary with Darren Parks and The Smooth Late Show with Martin Collins. The weekend brings other familiar voices, including Eamonn Kelly, Tina Hobley, Myleene Klass and Adil Ray. This gives the song-led format a continuing presenter framework, while Sanctuary concentrates more specifically on the relaxed side of the repertoire and the daytime service retains a broader selection of familiar melodic records.
