102.2 Smooth FM (Greater London) - Format Change Request

At its meeting on 7 December, Ofcom’s Radio Licensing Committee (RLC) was asked to consider a Format change request submitted by GMG regarding 102.2 Smooth FM (Greater London). The request was to allow the station format to change from delivering a soul-based station during the day with specialist jazz in the evening to a station targeting over 50s with easy-listening, more news and extra speech during the day, while retaining the 45 hours of specialist jazz out of daytime.

After full and careful consideration the RLC decided to allow the Format change request.
