Smooth FM on 105.5 FM
Smooth FM is Radio Africa Group's Nairobi music station for grown-up listeners, playing soul, R&B, grooves and easy listening on 105.5 FM.
The 105.5 frequency used to carry X FM, Radio Africa's rock station. In March 2019 the group switched X FM off the airwaves and moved it to Safaricom's Songa streaming app, calling it the first mainstream Kenyan station to go fully digital. Smooth went live on 105.5 the same week. Some X FM staff moved across to the new station.
At launch the format was 24 hours of soothing music, grooves and blues, seven days a week, with artists such as Kidum, Celine Dion and Lionel Richie on the playlist. Quarcoo said at the time that the station was about the music first, and that presenters would come later. By March 2020 Patrick Mwangola was presenting the Smooth FM drive-time show.
