While we're dedicating excessive amounts of Daily-time to Xfm scheduling, let's report that Ian Camfield, who must have presented pretty much every single show in the Xfm London schedule in his ten years with the station, is heading across the pond to join New York alternative station K-Rock. The decision means he will leave his most recent slot in the Xfm line-up, on drive time, though he is expected to still appear on the London station from time to time - possibly through the next series of the joint Xfm/K-Rock show Import/Export.
Camfield told reporters: "Leaving the weekday Xfm schedule was a hard decision to make as I believe Xfm is in the best position it has been in ten years. On the other hand I am of course extremely excited about being able to realise my dream of broadcasting in the United States while still maintaining my links with Xfm in the UK".
Xfm London Programme Director Adam Uytman added: "We are over the moon for Ian - we all know that opportunities like this don't come along very often and we are pleased that we are in a position where we can support him with his future plans. Ian has played a big part in Xfm's history and we are looking forward to continuing our relationship with him - just from further afield".
No word yet on who will now takeover Xfm London's drive time show.
