About the radio station
Radio X Manchester is the Manchester service of Radio X, a UK commercial radio brand owned by Global. The station traces its local roots back to XFM Manchester, which launched on 15 March 2006, before being replaced by Radio X as part of the national rebrand on 21 September 2015.
It broadcasts on 97.7 FM in Greater Manchester and is also available on DAB digital radio. You can listen online through Global Player (app and website) and on smart speakers by asking to play Radio X Manchester, with availability also extending to TV platforms in some setups.
While Radio X has several spin-off stations, Radio X Manchester focuses on the core Radio X sound, delivered locally on Manchester FM and digital.
Programming & Music
Radio X Manchester plays a playlist-led blend of indie, alternative and rock, balancing current releases with well-known guitar classics that still feel on-brand.
The vibe is energetic and confident, with music at the centre and presenter personality adding pace and humour around the big daytime shows.
It is the kind of station that suits commuting and working, keeping things upbeat without drifting into pop. If you want a consistent alternative sound with recognisable voices and plenty of anthems, Radio X Manchester live is a strong everyday listen.
Shows
Radio X Manchester carries the main Radio X schedule, including The Chris Moyles Show in the mornings and Johnny Vaughan at Drive, alongside daytime shows hosted by presenters such as Toby Tarrant and Issy Panayis.
For specialist and late-night listening, output includes X-Posure with John Kennedy and other themed programming depending on the day. Check the official schedule for the latest show times before you tune in to Radio X Manchester live.
