The presenter history of Smooth Radio includes many well-known British radio personalities who made their names on networks such as Radio 1, Radio 2, and other stations. The Smooth Radio brand began life in 2004 with the Manchester-based 100.4 Smooth FM, and gradually expanded to encompass a number of regional stations; these were subsumed into a UK-wide station in 2010. The regional stations were reintroduced in 2014. Several prominent broadcasters and disc jockeys have been recruited to the line-up. Current and former presenters on Smooth include Emma B, Simon Bates, Tony Blackburn, Paul Coia, Kate Garraway, Mark Goodier, Kevin Greening, David Jensen, Myleene Klass, Lynn Parsons, Andy Peebles and Graham Torrington. As a national broadcaster, the station's flagship breakfast show was presented by Simon Bates, who left Classic FM after more than a decade to join Smooth. Breakfast and Drivetime shows are currently fronted by a number of regional presenters. In addition, Smooth has also played featured one-off specials presented by personalities such as Russell Grant, Denise Van Outen and Dionne Warwick. ==Pre-2010== Kevin Greening was a presenter on 102.2 Smooth Radio, and had worked for its predecessor, 102.2 Smooth FM. Lynn Parsons joined 102.2 Smooth Radio along with Capital FM's Mike Allen in March 2007.

After joining 102.2 Smooth Radio in February 2008, veteran broadcaster Tony Blackburn presented a syndicated weekend breakfast show for Smooth later that year. He left the station in October 2010 to present ''Pick of the Pops'' on BBC Radio 2 because the BBC would not allow him to continue working for a rival broadcaster. Fiona Phillips was signed to present a networked Sunday afternoon show from 23 March 2008, but after disappointing audience figures she was dropped from the schedule a year later. Chris Tarrant joined the station in 2008 and presented a weekly Saturday morning show for several GMG stations to compete with Jonathan Ross's programme on Radio 2. The show aired for twelve months, after which Tarrant's contract with GMG Radio was not renewed. Former BBC Radio Scotland and Pebble Mill presenter Paul Coia was a Drivetime presenter on 102.2 Smooth Radio from December 2008, having previously been a stand-in presenter. Andy Peebles began presenting a networked weekday evening show from March 2009, having presented ''Soul Train'' on 100.4 Smooth Radio upon its launch in 2004. His weekday evening show ended in January 2013, but he continued to present ''Soul Train'' for Smooth for another few months, after which the station's owners, Global Radio transferred the show to its Gold network.〔 Former head of music at GMG Radio Terry Underhill joined the network in 2009, but left in 2011 to take up the position at UTV Media as director of programming.
