In a move which Peter Andre would surely have described as ‘In-Zania’, Alex Zane is to replace Lauren Laverne as presenter of the Xfm London breakfast show.
The news follows Xfm’s announcement earlier this month that Laverne would leave the breakfast show to concentrate on her TV commitments, after just 18 months in the job.
Zane, who has a face only a mother would punch, has been presenting Xfm's Friday breakfast show since January, and also co-hosts Channel 4's Popworld with Alexa Chung. I quite like Alexa Chung. Yeah.
Zane joined Xfm in 2003 to host a weekend show has also appeared on MTV, presented E4's coverage of Channel 4's Space Cadets, and hosted Celebrity Scissorhands on BBC Three and BBC One.
In other Xfm-related news, Ian Camfield is moving from his mid-morning show to drivetime, filling the existential void of nothingness left by the recently-departed Richard Bacon. He will continue to present his Rock Show on Sundays at 10pm, with Claire Sturgess taking over the mid-morning slot until a permanent replacement is found.
Alex Zane
is such a cunt its unbelievable. Seriously, who finds him funny?
Brilliant headline
I applaud DiS once more
i quite like him as a presenter,
as long as he keeps back the comedy
Somethings a bit...
smarmy about the chap. Do these presenters they employ actually know anything about music these days? Ive seen him getting stupidly excited about shit bands, which doesn't do much for my enthusiasm.
"a face only a mother would punch"?
Is that the sort of comedy you mean?
He's no
Simon Amstell though....who is a comedy god in my book!
I watched an old episode of never mind the buzzcocks with mark lamaar and couldn't believe how boring he was compared to amstell!
The latest series was rib ticklingly amazing!
I've confused myself by managing to turn a thread about Alex Zane and Lauren Lavergne into a rant about simon amstell, mark lamaar and never mind the buzzcocks......hmmm
that headline....
made my day!
Lauren Laverne
is a goddess. I hope it was her decision. Otherwise, Xfm have made a serious error.
Sparky, Funny, Sexy. Alex Zane ain't any of them.
I think he's a bit of a twat.
Richard Bacon was good for the drive home. Just a shame about the shit music XFM plays. "coming up after the news we have music from the fratellies, snow patrol, razorlight and the fratellies"
<sigh>
that headline
made me blush! You saucy scamps...
as i read that
xfm manchester is spewing out razorlight. Before that they played the fratellis.
I had a forlorn hope that lauren laverne might have jumped ship to the 6 music breakfast show. Boo.
Not the ones
who have turned off Popworld in their droves.
Does this mean
more of the fish man? I ike him.
that's
not really high praise, though, is it?
Xfm are in the shit...
XFM are seriously struggling to find anyone to present their shows... This is clearly evident by Tonks on drivetime @ the mo... What a twat...
You just have to go on the Xfm Dj's page and you find that half of them don't even have a show anymore...
Surely G Cap cannot think it is a worthwhile investment... They will surely fold soon...
XFM -
who cares? It's fucking awful.
alex zane =
cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt
NOOOOOOO
...terrible news
laruen laverne = annoyance beyond all comphrehension
alex zane = a notch above this
Reform
Kenickie!
alexa chung
is the shit. that is all.
Zane, Zane, Zane
Ouvrez le chien.
^YES!!!^
Chances are pretty small, unfortunately. :-(
...
zane = cunt
laverne = mega cunt
Not really
it's a bit like saying I'd rather piss my pants than shit them!
i think
that's a matter of personal preference, like. and the situation/context will dictate my preference everytime I'm called upon to make the call.
Hasn't happened for a few years now, like but its hardly worth getting smug about.
good call
that is.
oh yeah
her and lauren together. there's a TV show right there.
no music.
no talking.
...
Simon Amstell is genius! Grew on me with Popworld. And on the new series of Never Mind the Buzzocks, constantly had me in hysterics.
Alex Zane isn't very funny. Though i do like some of his fake gameshows on Balls of Steel.
YeaH
replace everyone with Alexa! Save her from 'Get a Grip'!
zane lowe's not bad
he pushes a lot of shit music, and his schtick on his radio show is a little much, but he's fine on his tv show. watch his interviews with people like we are scientists (i.e. smart people around the age of 30, rather than thick people around the age of 20) and he seems like a decent guy
fucksake
alex zane is a talentless, irritating, camera-mugging cunt. He is embarrassing as a presenter. Laverne, no! Is she seriously leaving us with that twat as company for our soulless weekday commute so she can do that godawful look-who's-flavour-of-nme-this-week show with steve 'smugface shagalot but really not as attractive as i think' jones?
I have no strong opinions on the matter either way
but pixie, I applaud your insults :)
If youre on t4
you are a cunt.
FACT.
Also. the shine off june sarpong could signal ships.
This is good news because it will get me out of bed quicker
His voice is incredibly annoying. He speaks like everything he says is comic gold but in fact it's more like a dry flannel.
as a kiwi...
I can authoritively inform you that Lowe is putting on some kind of broadcasting accent when he speaks, Like Dave Clifton.
Also - that other Zane guy is a smug chancer, and not funny.
done.
you know how
music can describe a feeling that you cant put into words, well my hatred for alex zane is imposibly defined by the word 'cunt' which is far too mild, and I fear that a musician with unbound talent, would be unable to capture my feelings of true hatred in a lifetime of work.
He personifies talentless.... ahhhhhrhhghghghghghh HES A FVCKIN IRRITATING CUNT!!!!!!!! I consider alex zane as timmy mallet's replacement in the 'tv personality you would most like to kick in the fvckin head' category.
That's enough hatred for one day, i'm glad i let it out.
I hate
Zane with every ounce of my being.
