About the radio station
Radio X is a UK commercial radio station owned by Global and based in London. It is best known for alternative music, with a focus on indie and rock.
The station was previously called Xfm and rebranded as Radio X on 21 September 2015 as it expanded nationally on digital radio. You can listen via DAB digital radio across much of the UK, online through Global Player, and on smart speakers.
Radio X is also available on FM in a limited number of areas, including 104.9 FM in London and 97.7 FM in Manchester. It is carried on selected TV platforms too, such as Sky and Freesat, depending on your setup and region.
Programming & Music
Radio X generally blends current indie and alternative rock with familiar soft rock and guitar-driven classics that still fit its modern edge. The tone is energetic and confident, with music-led daytime output and a strong personality around the big shows.
Alongside the playlist, you can expect regular features, artist chat and a lively, humorous style from presenters, making it feel like a station for people who want rock and indie with proper character.
If you like a mix of new releases and established anthems, Radio X live delivers that consistently.
