Xpress Radio is a national award-winning student radio station based at Cardiff University in Cardiff, Wales, focussed on current, popular and new music. The station broadcasts from 10am-11pm daily with programming ranging from comedy to film review, to the best in new and local music.

Xpress is mainly run by students at the university. It operates from a studio and editing suite on the fourth floor of the Students' Union building. The current station manager of Xpress is Sarah Powell.[1]

Xpress are regularly involved with music events in the city and often have bands in for live sessions and interviews, most recently interviewing Stereophonics at Cardiff Castle. Every year Xpress links with Swansea University's station Xtreme Radio to present live coverage of the Welsh Varsity sporting events between the two institutions, including a full live commentary from the Men's Rugby match in the evening.

Ex-members include Vicki Blight (Absolute Radio), Jen Long (BBC Radio One) and Roop & Tom.
