Xpress Radio

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Xpress Radio is a student radio station based in Cardiff, founded in 1996, mainly run by the students of Cardiff University, current station manager being Syd Lawrence, operating from a small studio and editing suite on the fourth floor of the Students' Union building.

As it operates on a restricted-service licence (RSL), it is limited in the time and frequency of its broadcasts. FM RSLs are available for a maximum of four weeks, and assigned to frequencies at the far ends of the band. As Xpress obtains licences for two separate periods in each year, it is possible, and has sometimes been the case, that the two broadcasts are on different frequencies (typically below 88MHz, or above 106MHz).

Ex-members include Jamie Dunbar, Vicki Blight (Heart 106), Nick Simon (Southern FM) and Roop & Tom (Fox FM).

The next period of FM broadcasting begins on the 5th of February, and lasts for 3 weeks
