Smooth Tyne and Wear Radio

Smooth Tyne and Wear brings the Smooth music format to an audience around Newcastle, Sunderland and neighbouring communities. Familiar melodic records are combined with presenter-led entertainment, while regional information supplies a North East connection around the songs.

The North East news service includes local stories as well as UK and world developments, sport and weather. Morning and evening travel updates are part of the broadcaster's stated information offering, with additional weekend coverage when needed. These elements give the edition a practical regional role distinct from the production of the shared music shows. Its published musical selection includes artists such as Enrique Iglesias, demonstrating the place of mainstream vocal pop alongside older favourites within the wider Smooth repertoire.

The Tyne and Wear edition carries Jenni Falconer's Smooth Breakfast, followed by Kate Garraway and her opening hour of non-stop music. Paul Phear and Angie Greaves provide the afternoon voices. The North East service retains its regional audience setting around those shared programmes rather than a separate presenter schedule made exclusively for Newcastle and Sunderland.

Darren Parks presents The Smooth Sanctuary in the weekday evening, and Martin Collins hosts The Smooth Late Show. The weekend includes breakfast with Eamonn Kelly and other programmes from Tina Hobley, Myleene Klass and Adil Ray. Familiar songcraft provides continuity across the line-up, while the quieter evening strands and different weekend hosts add changes of musical emphasis within the wider Smooth entertainment format.
