Xpress is back and in full force this year with exponential growth on socials and members this year. Starting off with record-breaking viewing figures on our 24-hour election coverage. This saw full radio coverage from evening to late morning with expertly led shows and guests showing off the full power of Xpress Radio’s networks in journalism and politics. Xpress have also hosted the prestigious annual SRA chart show which saw us announce the top twenty charts in the UK from Student Radio. Recently, Xpress have been doing their annual “24-hourathon” where the station has non-stop shows from midday to late into the night. This was in aid of Millie Mittoo Children’s charity. Total funds are still being calculated as of writing. Xpress has also seen an increase in memberships and growth in our community through an increase of socials and shows! This has led to investment being made into the podcast studio, which has seen an upgrade in recording tech. There will also be a slight re-decoration phase as part two of the project. This has seen podcasts and audio dramas from Act One and the Creative Writing Society, with more upcoming projects happening in future. So, if you have an idea for a podcast or show, come down and we can get you on air. We also were on podium for 50% of our nominations at the SRA awards with special mention to Giles Crosgrove’s freshers for getting silver for Best Creative Speech Programming. Next year, Xpress are looking forward to Xprestival where we will be bringing the show back, live for students alongside our popular varsity coverage! Next year is not a miss for Cardiff’s Students’ Union’s award-winning radio station.
