Radio X 90s focuses on the strongest guitar-led music from the 1990s, with a playlist shaped around Britpop, grunge, alternative rock, indie classics and big anthems that still define the decade. It is built for listeners who want the era of Oasis, Blur, Nirvana, Pulp, Radiohead, R.E.M., Supergrass, Stereophonics and Manic Street Preachers without drifting into general oldies radio.
The station has a cleaner identity than a broad throwback service because it stays close to the music Radio X is known for: indie, alternative and rock. That means the page should lean hard into 90s indie radio, Britpop radio, grunge classics and alternative 90s anthems, rather than watering itself down with vague nostalgia copy.
Radio X 90s also has a real Manchester connection through Rob Ellis, who presents weekday mid-mornings from 11am to 2pm. That gives the station more substance than a faceless playlist, especially because Manchester is central to the story of 90s UK indie and Britpop culture.
