Alex Zane is to replace Lauren Laverne as the presenter of the Xfm London breakfast show.
Zane has been presenting Xfm's Friday breakfast show since January, and also co-hosts Channel 4's Popworld with Alexa Chung.
Earlier this month, Xfm announced that Laverne was leaving the breakfast show to concentrate on her TV commitments, after just 18 months in the job.
Joining Xfm in 2003 to host a weekend show, Zane 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.
The Xfm London programme director, Adam Uytman, said Zane was the first choice for the job. He will host the show five nights a week from May 29.
Elsewhere on the station, Ian Camfield is moving from his mid-morning show to drivetime, taking over the slot already vacated by 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.
