Celebrating a massive 38-year legacy in music and almost 3 decades with Radio XL, I am veteran presenter Johno Irie, bringing you musical entertainment across the airwaves. Broadcasting in English, I host two weekend shows packed with non-stop music, live mixes, and listener shoutouts: "Friday Night Throwback" on Friday nights from 10pm to Midnight featuring iconic ’80s, ’90s, and ’00s anthems, and "Desi Dance Beats" on Saturdays from 7pm to 9pm with a high-octane fusion of Punjabi, Bollywood, disco and dance tunes from all genres. What makes my shows unique ? Well... it is the live-on-the-fly mixing and lifelong vinyl roots , supercharged for dance floor party lovers. Music has been my life-long passion through which there is a power to unite diverse communities. A surprising fun fact is that I'm still hunting down rare vinyl, with a massive collection to show for it. My absolute favourite XL memory is hosting the Lord Mayor’s Show in front of a massive live crowd!

I’m Kabir Ahmed, the voice of the Bengali Show - Shurmar Dheu on Radio XL, every Tuesday and Wednesday, 9–10pm. There’s a special kind of electricity when I’m behind a microphone. Radio is where my personality, voice and energy come alive. I love connecting with listeners, sharing stories, creating moods and bringing great Asian music to life. Having grown up with Bollywood and cultural music, it’s always been in my blood. Speaking Bengali, Urdu and Hindi, alongside English, helps me connect with different communities and bring people together through music. I joined Radio XL in 2024 and each week I look forward to bringing musical entertainment to the Bengali show and all the shows I cover. Away from radio, I’m an insurance professional and NHS Responder. I enjoy travelling, keeping fit, football, cricket and family time, while staying actively involved in my community. I don’t just speak into a microphone, I light it up. Shurmar Dheu, Your Music, Your Memories, Your Show.

Hi, this is Navi, presenter of the Music Cafe Show every Thursday and Friday on Radio XL between 11am and 3pm, mixing old school and present-day upbeat tempos interlaced with interviews, expressive stories, listener requests and Attpatte Sawal. I have spent an amazing 26 years with Radio XL which started as a dream that grew to be a passion and a huge part of my life. Something that I will always hold close to my heart is the connection with my listeners. Because of them, I am doing what I do to showcase the best of myself, and I am humbly grateful for the immeasurable loyalty shown by them. I am a funny and bubbly person with limitless patience and I always work to better myself, which hopefully is evident in my shows from day one to present. I have an easy-going nature. However, one habit I have that you may not know is that life has taught me to forgive but never forget, insaan hu na..... but I also believe "JO HOTA HAI, ACHE KE LIYE HOTA HAI".

I am Peter P and I host the Wednesday Drive Time show(3-6pm)and the Tuesday Late Night show(10pm-12) I can proudly say that I've been with Radio XL from day one.

I'm a regular visitor at my local karaoke club where you can find me belting out Bollywood and English numbers
