Annie Mac is to be the new host of BBC Radio 1's weekday evening new music show with current host Zane Lowe leaving to go to work for Apple in the US.
Lowe has hosted the night-time show, which is broadcast Monday to Thursday 7-9pm, since 2003. He will be replaced by Mac from Monday, March 9. The DJ, who began her radio career as a broadcast assistant to Zane Lowe on the show, will now take over.
Announcing his departure, Lowe said: "The station has allowed me to share incredible music with the country's best music fans - I've loved every minute of it. Exciting times lie ahead." In recent years Lowe's global profile has extended with a number of headline-making interviews including Kanye West, Eminem and Jay Z. Details of his new position at Apple are yet to be specified.
