Global’s country music playlist Smooth Country is getting upgraded and going on DAB in a number of places across the UK.
In addition, presenter Eamonn Kelly will host a show each weekday, from 9am till 1pm.
Smooth Country launches tomorrow, Tuesday 3rd September, along with Smooth Chill, a replacement of the 15 year old digital service playing chill out music.
Global says Smooth Country celebrates the very best in country music, featuring iconic artists including Dolly Parton, Taylor Swift, Keith Urban, Shania Twain and Lady Antebellum.
Sam Jackson, Managing Editor of Smooth said: “To launch two new Smooth branded stations on one day is hugely exciting for us and confirms our vision to grow and develop the brand. Smooth Country will celebrate the best country music hits, while Smooth Chill will play the best music to relax and unwind to, no matter what time of the day.
“Through these new stations, we can’t wait to introduce Smooth to even more people, as well as giving our existing 5.7 million weekly listeners even more opportunities to enjoy the music they love.”
