Xfm have announced two new recruits who will help launch its previously reported new South Wales outpost - both formerly of Kerrang! Radio. Mike Newman will become Programme Controller while Emma Newman (yep, same surname, not a misprint) will be the station's Music Scheduler. More appointments - including marketing and events people - are expected to be announced shortly.
Confirming Mike and Emma's appointment, Xfm Network MD Nick Davidson told CMU: "We are really looking forward to welcoming Mike and Emma to South Wales and the Xfm stable - they are two really strong additions to our programming team. They will be working closely with Xfm's Network Programming Director Ande Macpherson and Xfm's Head Of Music Mike Walsh to ensure that the station sounds really fresh and exciting when it hits the airwaves of South Wales later in the year".
