Alex Zane is leaving the Xfm breakfast show like, now. Well, tomorrow. The Global owned alternative music station yesterday announced Zane was leaving their prime time show this week. The station's afternoon show presenter, Ian Camfield, who recently returned to Xfm after a stint with New York's K-Rock, will return to the breakfast slot.
Although Zane was suspended from the station for a week last year after playing a spoof song which seemed to make light of rape, his departure is seemingly uncontroversial - he is leaving via something lacking in that controversial rape song, "mutual consent". It's thought the presenter's contract was up for renewal and he decided not to renew.
A spokesman for the station told reporters: "Alex Zane is a busy man right now and by mutual agreement he is moving on to do other things. We wish him every success for the future". Despite the busy-ness, it's thought Zane will still find time to do some radio, with a show on BBC 6Music being tipped.
