Initiated by post-graduates, University Radio Exeter began broadcasting from Devonshire House on low power AM.

This meant feeding a coaxial cable, carrying the RF signal, just below ground level from Devonshire House to Lafrowda halls of residence.

As an indirect result of joining the Student Broadcast Network (SBN), money became available to convert to low-power FM.

In early 2009 the station stopped using XFM as an overnight sustaining service and now broadcasts from the Exeter studio 24 hours a day.

Xpression FM has its very own in-house news team, led by students Kerry Myers and Matthew Orton.

Past shows in the Monday slot have included: 'The Hot Seat', where interviewees have included award-winning author Anthony Horowitz and former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Exeter Sir Steve Smith; 'Limelight' ran in this role from 2019-2021, with a lighter, more magazine feel to the show.

The second show of the week from the News Team, 'NewsHour', is aired on Fridays at 5pm, expanding on stories covered in the bulletins, as well as featuring exclusive interviews and longer-form reports.

This show takes the form of a panel discussion, where student contributors present their opinions on the breaking stories from around the country and the world.

On University matters, the station covers the annual Guild Elections, with a week of coverage dedicated to interviews, debates and the vote counts and announcements.

Headed by Georgia Cornish and Anna Papasouliotis, the sports team can regularly be found occupying a 'Soccer Saturday' style vibe to the TNS Shows, and a panel discussion theme for the Sunday Sports Show, but there are also regular commentaries of Exeter City F.C, Exeter Chiefs and BUCS matches involving the University team, and with press passes to some of the highest level sport in the city in both football and rugby union.

Xpression broadcasts live from Devonshire House utilising three studios for simultaneous presentation, production and training.

Each content team has their own heads; News: Kerry Myers and Matthew Orton; Music: Malik Awotorebo and Mattie Gazzard; Sport: Georgia Cornish and Anna Papasouliotis; and Drama: Kyle Cleary.
