Before that he had performed administrative duties at Granada Television and Westward Television and went on to do similar for Radio Caroline. After the Marine Offences Bill came into force Colin spent time with more administrative duties for the newly opened Yorkshire Television while working as a club D-J, moving on to work in record promotion, and BBC Radio Medway as a Saturday afternoon presenter. He also spent the summer of 1971 as an announcer for HTV.Colin had a brief stint with BBC Radio 1 writing and presenting programme trails, before joining BBC Radio 2 as an announcer/presenter in 1973, where he stayed on the staff for thirty-three years, presenting such shows as Night Ride, The Late Show, Music Through Midnight, European Pop Jury, Band Parade, The Early Show, You & The Night & The Music and countless other shows and concerts.

He also appeared on the following shows: The Generation Game, Blankety Blank, Top Of The Pops, Going Live, Supermarket Sweep and Bargain Hunt, to name but a few.
