Xfm's Programme Director Andy Ashton is leaving the GCap owned station after five years with the company, during which time the Xfm brand has grown within London and, especially, on a nationwide basis.
Confirming his departure, which has immediate effect, Ashton said this week: "I have had a fantastic time at Xfm over the last five years building one of the world's best radio brands. I have some amazing achievements and memories to look back on, and I look forward to watching Xfm go from strength to strength. The time is now right for me to embrace an exciting future".
The station's Network Managing Director Nick Davidson added: "I would like to thank Andy for his significant contribution and commitment to Xfm. He is a talented programmer and I wish him the very best for the future".
There are no details as yet regarding a replacement.
