Zane Lowe on MTV2 Europe

Lowe has presented Gonzo, MTV2's flagship music show, since 2002, in which time the show has evolved from a two-hour random collection of presenting and clips, to a primetime (9pm) show featuring regular musical guests. The show is presented solely by Lowe, with the studio effectively being a blue screen and the infamous 'Brown Couch'. His presenting manner on Gonzo is more laid back than on his radio show. The show features music videos, along with news (usually ripped from the NME) and input from the channel's message boards. Occasionally, moderators of the boards (chosen on Gonzo and by the members) contribute; one member even filled in for a week when Zane was ill and unable to present.
