RTÉ 2XM

RTÉ 2XM (stylised as "RTE 2><M") was a digital radio service of the Irish public broadcaster Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ), and a sister service to its national youth-oriented radio station RTÉ 2fm, broadly dedicated to alternative and independent music.

The service was available nationally on Saorview, Ireland's free-to-air Digital Terrestrial Television service, as well as the RTÉ website, the RTÉ Radio App, Virgin Media television, and other online apps and services.

Created and originally edited by former RTÉ radio programming director Mark McCabe, RTÉ 2XM debuted in March 2007, broadcasting on a limited Digital Audio Broadcasting service for the Greater Dublin and North East Coast areas, as part of the broadcaster's digital radio trial.

RTÉ placed the station on the digital terrestrial television trial service in late October 2007, and on its website in late June 2008.

The station was initially intended to carry a selection of live music with content from festivals across Europe. It was the first RTÉ digital radio station to have carried live content, with music from the Oxegen festival in July 2007, and the Electric Picnic and PlanetLove Summer Session festivals in September 2007, as well as the PlanetLove Winter Session in February 2008.

The station ventured into online video content with 2XM WebTV, debuting during RTÉ's coverage of the Oxegen 2008 music festival, on the weekend of 11–14 July 2008

Along with five other new digital stations, RTÉ 2XM was formally launched on RTÉ's national Digital Audio Broadcasting service on 1 December 2008.

The station has also been available on the Saorview digital terrestrial television service since its official launch in 2011, including areas of Northern Ireland where overspill signal from the Republic of Ireland can be received. Alongside its digital sister stations, it switched multiplexes on the service in July of 2023.
