Radio X Manchester

Radio X Manchester is the Manchester edition of Radio X, carrying a guitar-led programme of rock, indie and alternative music. New recordings sit alongside familiar tracks, with presenter entertainment and specialist shows shaping the schedule. The city's edition shares the main Radio X programme rather than restricting its music to Manchester artists.

Chris Moyles and his team lead the weekday breakfast show. Issy Panayis presents afternoons, including the Best Of British hour, before Johnny Vaughan's 4til7 Thang with Gavin Woods and Sunta Templeton. The Evening Show with Dan O'Connell adds guests, conversation and music features. These shared programmes provide the main sequence of voices around the station's rock and alternative selection.

X-Posure with John Kennedy takes a closer interest in new music through sessions and artist interviews. Its published programme includes a discussion of Editors' album with Tom Smith and Justin Lockey, as well as a session from Everyone Says Hi. Rich Wolfenden's Radio X Indie Night moves towards energetic indie and rock tracks, giving the weekend a more party-oriented musical strand.

Spoken entertainment appears in Danny Wallace's Important Broadcast, with features such as Dinner Winner and Tell Me Something I Don't Know. Johnny Vaughan's Kickabout brings a conversational approach to sport. At the other end of the musical spectrum, Radio X Chilled offers a quieter selection with Sarah Gosling, Dan O'Connell and Conor Knight among its presenters. For the Manchester edition, this creates a programme that ranges from band interviews and new releases to familiar guitar songs, comedy and more relaxed listening.
