WXEL (90.7 FM), is a National Public Radio member station in West Palm Beach, Florida, owned by Barry University - a Catholic university in Miami; despite the Catholic-based ownership, WXEL airs no religious programming.

WXEL airs classical music from 9am - 3pm daily, including Joanna Marie's Classical Variations at 12 noon, which celebrated its 10th year on WXEL in 2006. Classical music airs in the evening and overnights as well.

In April 2005, Barry University announced a pending purchase of WXEL FM and WXEL-TV to a group consisting of Educational Broadcasting Corporation (owners of New York City's WNET and WLIW) and the Community Broadcast Foundation of Palm Beach and the Treasure Coast, a local volunteer organization. Barry University decided to terminate the sale in May, 2008.
