Over 839,000 listeners now tune into Xfm each week.

Audience

Our core audience is 15-34 year olds. Listeners mirror the personality of the station and its DJs: young, articulate, opinion forming, independent individuals with high levels of disposable income and social influence. Xfm has a 72% ABC1 profile and in London it's 75% - the highest in commercial radio!.

Environment

As one of the UK’s coolest brands - exemplified by being crowned Media Brand of the Year in 2007 and a CoolBrand 2011 by the CoolBrands Committee - Xfm brings the newest sounds from the music scene right to its enthusiastic and loyal listeners.  As evening approaches, Xfm shifts to a more specialist music selection with a mix of alternative, new music, unsigned, session tracks, whilst acknowledging the roots of current music.

But Xfm is more than the on air output. The brand extends to the website - www.xfm.co.uk - with music news , an extensive artist database , a comprehensive event guide and an archive of essential studio ‘live sessions ’.

The new breakfast show is hosted by Danny Wallace.
