AbingdonXtra is a community radio station that started in 2012 and will FULLY LAUNCH 2013.

Currently we use the mixcloud to broadcast our shows but fully intend to be a 24 hour a day internet radio station by 2013 with future plans to be a fully fledged FM radio by 2015 with a full working/training studio.

Some of the shows we intend to will include:

  • Local Music Show (already running)
  • Local Events and Goings on (in planning)
  • Local Debate and local club/society promotion
  • The Charts Show
  • The Rock and Blues Show (already running)
  • Stula's Soul Night (already running)
  • The Saturday Sports Club

Most of our live shows will be in the evening and repeated daily as well as having music of different genres throughout the day such as "The 80's Hour" and "The Hour of Power"

As well as being able to listen through your PC/MAC we are currently developing a mobile application for ios and Android based phones to make it even easier to listen.
Our sole aim is to give the people of Abingdon-on-Thames a truly local media platform to enable anyone to promote anything that is for the good of the local community.

Please use this site to discover how you can use our service as well as help and/or become part of AbingdonXtra.
