Colin Magee: 6-10am

I joined the 1XX team in 1985 and stayed until 1988.  Over a ten-year period following this I worked in many radio markets around the North Island, including Radio Works and the Radio Network.  However I always missed the BOP, so returned home to host the 1XX breakfast show in 1998.
 
I’m married to Tania and we are proud parents of quads.
 
My hobby is landscaping, and I’ve transformed a half acre section to a resort style piece of paradise complete with bar, grill and spa pool.  The garden has featured in several magazines.  My aim is to arrive home and feel like I’m on holiday.
 
Most memorable moment:
 
Spending time with Liz Mitchell of Boney M.  She is one of the most wonderful, angelic women I have spent time with
(except for my wife of course).  She invited my whole family on stage during a big outdoor concert.
 
Most embarrassing moment:
 
In 1998 Trevor Mallard came into the studio for an interview.  Off air I asked Trevor why the local Labour candidate had absolutely NO profile and we never heard from him.  Trevor then introduced me to the man with him….the very man I was talking about!
