Smooth South Wales

Smooth Wales is an Independent Local Radio station broadcasting from Cardiff for South Wales and North Wales, as well as parts of Cheshire in England. All programming content is now shared to both areas. There are no longer any stations within the Smooth radio network broadcasting on AM, the last ever remaining one in North Wales and Cheshire closed at 1:00PM on Friday 28th February 2025. In later years, it was the only former regional Smooth AM station to have its own content, a local four-hour weekday show, as all other Smooth AM stations, as added to the network in 2014, carried the London network FM content, opting out only for local news and advertising breaks. The local show on Smooth Wales was carried over from the station's previous incarnation as Gold.
