About FunX Radio

FunX is the radio station by and for young people. Music is at its core. FunX plays street mixes, a unique blend of mainstream music and musical styles you will only hear at FunX, like Arabic rai, Turkish pop music, Asian underground, latin and lots of reggae/dancehall, but without ignoring Dutch talent. In FunX’s informative programs, young people shape the content as well. Lifestyle and relationships, social issues and culture, each in their own individual way. Welcome to yourself!

FunX listeners
FunX targets teenagers and young adults between 15 to 35, with an emphasis on 15 to 25. Over one quarter in this category have non-Dutch origins: one big melting pot of tastes and cultures. These teenagers and young adults are strongly committed to music, trends and hypes, and so they develop their own style.
