Smooth FM will change its name and move to broadcasting George Michael's Careless Whisper all day long, on a loop. The track has topped a listener poll for the eighth year in a row.
A spokesman said, 'Okay, we give up! If that's all you want, then that's fine. There will still be plenty of variety on the radio station, as we have several different advertisers and we will still be using our famous automated AI deejay to introduce the track, give traffic updates, and remind listeners to keep breathing. We will occasionally play a live version of the track, just to keep things fresh, and we will continue to run out phone in competitions, with all the prizes being George Michael merch.
'Financially, it's good move for us. We've done a deal on the broadcast rights and we won't have to pay for any other music. It's very popular with listeners, because our broadcasts are considerably less annoying than Capital Radio, as long as you don't mind George Michael...
'Romesh heard about our plans and asked if he could do some DJing for us. We said no.'
