102.2 Smooth FM will launch in London at 10am on Tuesday 7^th June. The new brand will replace JAZZFM in the capital.

 

Ten days prior to the launch of Smooth FM, all JAZZFM branding will be removed from the airwaves and the station will play continuous music reflecting the fresh soulful sound as we countdown to the launch of London’s new radio station.

 

Presenter Kevin Greening will join the weekday line-up in the lunchtime 10am – 3pm slot. Kevin’s voice is already familiar with listeners as he moves from his weekend mid-morning show to take up his new role in the weekday line-up. Kevin, who shot to fame as one half of BBC Radio 1’s breakfast duo with Zoe Ball, will work exclusively for 102.2 Smooth FM.

 

Kevin Greening said, "I can't wait to get installed in my ‘Smooth Booth’ to roll out five hours (just the five?) of London's smooth favourites every day. It'll be radio with the crusts cut off."

 

Full details of the programme schedule will be announced shortly along with plans for the £1.5 million marketing campaign, which will support the launch.
