Smooth Lake District Radio

Smooth Lake District is the Lake District edition of Smooth's familiar-music service, with a Cumbrian audience connection. Its broad selection of melodic popular songs is presented through shared network shows, allowing different eras and voices to coexist within an easy-going programme.

The Lake District public file sets out a regional information role combining local stories with national and world news, sport and weather. It also describes travel bulletins at the main morning and evening periods, with weekend updates when circumstances require them. This is a concrete local-information strand around the music, rather than a promise that each entertainment show originates in Cumbria. The station also joins the wider Global's Make Some Noise appeal, supporting small charities through the broadcaster's shared fundraising activity.

The Lake District service carries Smooth Breakfast with Jenni Falconer, Kate Garraway's morning programme and afternoon shows from Paul Phear and Angie Greaves. The edition's Cumbrian audience connection sits alongside those shared network productions. Its regional information and the origin of the entertainment programmes are different aspects of the station, rather than evidence that each show is made separately in the Lake District.

The Smooth Sanctuary with Darren Parks brings a quieter selection to the weekday evening, followed by The Smooth Late Show with Martin Collins. Weekend voices include Eamonn Kelly, Tina Hobley and Myleene Klass, with Margherita Taylor in the Sunday line-up. The songs remain familiar and melodic, while these named programmes give the service a presented structure and a distinct relaxed evening strand.
