Simon Bates presenting two radio shows at the same time
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 13 September 2012
We always knew that Simon Bates was a versatile fella, but it seems that he is now presenting two radio shows at the very same time.
Bates has hosted the breakfast show on the main Smooth Radio station since the start of 2011, but his voice can now also be heard in the breakfast slot on digital sister station Smooth 70s, which launched at the end of last year.
But this isn’t the same show – or the same show but with different songs (as Absolute Radio has done with some shows on its decade-specific stations) – rather it seems Bates has provided some unique links for Smooth 70s, presumably pre-recorded.
Smooth hasn’t so far made much of the appearance of Bates on Smooth 70s at the same time as his show on the main Smooth channel, though the station did confirm to Radio Today that the DJ would be providing “a little content” to the digital service.
