Biography

Martin Collins is a British radio presenter. He started broadcasting as soon as he left college. His broadcasting career began at Chiltern Radio. Next, he moved to London's Capital Radio, first presenting a Sunday night specialist show for the station, before moving to prominence on the latenight show (10pm-1am) in 1986-1989. He later moved to the weekday afternoon slot before eventually leaving the station in December 2003.
At the beginning of 2004, Collins went 'freelance', heard on various stations across the UK such as Virgin Radio, Magic 105.4 and Capital Gold. In July 2004, Martin joined Virgin Radio on a permanent basis, with stints on drivetime and the late show, leaving the station in December 2006. He replaced Russell Pockett on drivetime when 102.2 Smooth Radio relaunched in early 2007, and remained in the slot until December 2008.
Collins has most recently been heard covering the late show on The One Network and various programmes on Absolute Radio and Magic 105.4 London. In late 2009, he took on the weekend breakfast show 6-10am on Magic 105.4
