From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia Jonathan Coleman (born 29 February 1956 in Hackney, London, England) is an Australian television personality, radio announcer and writer and performer of comedy. He has lived in Northern London since 1990 and is married with two young children.
Coleman's broadcasting career started at BBC GLR, before moving to Virgin Radio in May 1993, presenting the Sunday - Thursday evening show from 7-10pm. In July 1993, he co-presented the Breakfast show alongside Russ Williams, where he remained until October 1997, moving to the drivetime show upon Chris Evans' arrival at the station.
Coleman was fired from Virgin Radio in early 1998 & moved to London's Heart 106.2, presenting the Breakfast show. He co-hosted the show with Harriet Scott from mid 2002.
In early 2005 he was axed from Heart 106.2 & moved to sister station LBC 97.3, where he took over the weekend mid-morning show from 10am-1pm.
Since Monday 25th July 2005 Coleman took over the 3-5pm Afternoon show on BBC London 94.9. There is talk of him taking over the Breakfast show later this year.
He has also presented many television programs for the BBC and appears regularly for many international television crossovers from the United Kingdom for Australian television. Coleman also wrote for Punch magazine titled Coleman's Bowls. He currently writes a weekly column for the national newspaper The Daily Star.
He has also appeared in the British television programmes, Celebrity Fit Club, Celebrities Under Pressure, I'm Famous and Frightened! and Have I Been Here Before?
Coleman has also provided many voiceovers and narrations for many products both in Australia and internationally for companies such as Toohey's, Foster's, Qantas, the Australian Tourist Commission, and BBC TV, as well as in-flight programs for Qantas, Air New Zealand and Britannia.
His earlier Australian television work included regular appearances on children's show Simon Townsend's Wonder World as a reporter.
