XLFM (formerly 2XL) is an Australian radio station serving the Cooma region owned by Capital Radio Network. It was opened in August 1937.[1]

The station was originally broadcasting from Cooma on 918 kHz AM under the callsign '2XL' before undergoing an FM conversion in 2019. Coinciding with the move to FM, 2XL re-branded to XLFM.[2]

XLFM is a part of the regional 'Forever Classic' network of Capital Radio Network Stations and acts as its programming hub.
