Mood music has been around a long time, this is nothing new. The new CADA can be considered mood music. The old 2DayFM was mood programmed as was 2CH. The difference today from when 2Day was around is the delivery. Its slicker and faster. Early FM radio had songs fading out longer and so did 2CH and the likes. Smooth today sounds different than the early version.
Dear Aussiecam58,
I believe your comment on the Smooth station should have gone to https://radioinfo.com.au/news/smoothfm-enters-its-second-decade-this-weekend/ which has a longer article than the small blurb above your comment labelled "Smooth fm, your easy place to relax" and the first sentence starting with "...Smooth turns 10 on polling day..."
I agree with you but 2CH never let some songs go to their completion. I distinctly recall every time Julie Anthony's "China Blue" was never played to completion and was faded out 20 seconds before completion. Similarly, 2CH never let Spandau Ballet's "True" play to completion.
Thank you,
