Jon Holmes named new Xfm breakfast host
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 19 December 2012
Jon Holmes has been announced as the new host of Xfm’s breakfast show in London. He will take over from Danny Wallace, who announced his departure earlier this week, on 7 Jan.
Holmes said of his new role: “Xfm has always been the go-to station for enormous indie music, funny, irreverent broadcasting and the best ballsy entertainment on the radio. The Xfm Breakfast Show is the stuff of legend, and this is where we take it to the next level (which, in accordance with council regulations, has both steps and a ramp)”.
The Global-owned station has also announced two more new appointments, who will also join the station on 7 Jan. Jo Good, who like Holmes is a former BBC 6music presenter, will take over the 1-4pm slot on weekdays in both London and Manchester, while Dan O’Connell will return to the station to follow her on the drivetime slot from 4-7pm in London only. In Manchster, Clint Boon will move from early afternoons to take over the drivetime show.
