Smooth North West Radio

Smooth North West is a regional music service for North West England, combining familiar melodic songs with a presented daily programme. Its repertoire reaches across several decades, with soul-influenced pop, ballads and established popular records sharing the same broad musical space.

The North West information service includes regional stories alongside UK and world news, sport and weather. The broadcaster also identifies local travel bulletins around morning and evening peak periods, with additional weekend updates when needed. These practical strands connect the programme with the region while the entertainment shows are shared across Smooth. The station also participates in Global's Make Some Noise, whose charitable work supports smaller organisations helping people in communities across the country.

The North West schedule includes Smooth Breakfast with Jenni Falconer, followed by Kate Garraway, whose show opens with an hour of uninterrupted music. Paul Phear presents the afternoon and Angie Greaves the later-day programme. These are shared Smooth shows, with the North West service adding its regional news and travel context around the entertainment rather than a separate presenter line-up for each city.

Evenings take a quieter direction through The Smooth Sanctuary with Darren Parks and The Smooth Late Show with Martin Collins. The weekend introduces Eamonn Kelly at breakfast, Adil Ray on Saturday and further programmes with Tina Hobley and Myleene Klass. These named voices give the familiar-song selection a continuing presented structure, while Sanctuary provides a more specifically relaxed musical strand within the broader station.
