How old is xfm

You might think Xfm London is brilliant right now, the best it's ever been, writes Paul Smith. And that's not impossible of course, what with taste being entirely subjective - and occasionally wasted on stupid people. Xfm has polarised listeners and the industry since launch, displaying more personalities in the past ten years than a game of Guess Who?. The legitimate offspring of North London pirate Q , Xfm sought to assume the role of party-ravaged David to Capital Radio's family-friendly Goliath, providing a spiky playlist of alternative and underground noise.

Unfortunately the launch on September 1 was overshadowed by the events of the previous day, the London media sparing few column inches for a new radio station while the nation grieved the loss of a people's princess. In the following months the station failed to attract enough audience to fulfill advertising impacts and less than a year later Capital bought up the majority of shares in the business.

Cue a transformation into a Virgin-esque mainstream rock station, record numbers of complaints to the regulators, demonstrations in Leicester Square and the disappearance of obscure, non-conformist presenters. Ricky Gervais , for example. A more alternative-yet-accessible music format returned later, while a platter of talent cut their broadcasting teeth and furthered their careers. With a target audience of year olds, XFM can show your business how Radio can sell with immediacy.
