User:This is Paul/Smooth Radio/references

In a drive to get the article Smooth Radio ready for a potential GA nomination, I have created a refdump of sources relating to the topic. Here is practically everything concerning the network from the radio industry's journal Radio Today which contains lots of useful little information on its history.
