On Air
102.2 Smooth Radio played classic hits aimed at listeners aged 40 and over, alongside Jazz music overnight. The overnight jazz was dropped from the station from August 2010 and simulcast with other stations in the Smooth network.
Smooth's jingle package was produced by Bespoke Music, with production initially voiced by Sean Bolger - although he was replaced in mid-2008 with Gina Mellotte.
Local news was broadcast from 6am - 7pm with headlines at peak times; after 7pm, an hourly in-house national bulletin was broadcast from the GMG News Hub in Manchester until midnight.

Famous quotes containing the word air:
“Only if loves fire with the breath
Of life be kindled, I doubt,
With our last air ‘twill be breath’d out,
And quenched with the cold of death.”
—Edward Herbert (1583–1648)
“Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounced it to you—trippingly on the tongue; but if you mouth it, as many of your players do, I had as lief the town-crier spoke my lines. Nor do not saw the air too much with your hand, thus, but use all gently; for in the very torrent, tempest, and as I may say, the whirlwind of your passion, you must acquire and beget a temperance that may give it smoothness.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
