Chris serves up music, mischief, and mayhem every weekday morning on Chris Dyson at Breakfast on TKO Radio. From quirky quizzes to ridiculous news stories, he brings the laughs, the tunes, and just enough chaos to kickstart your day. Tune in from 8am across the Costa Blanca and Costa Calida — it's the breakfast show that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Dislikes: Daytime TV and the British weather. I was born in Nottingham to parents who were both bakers. At an early age, I wanted to join the Navy but then discovered the “wonderful world of Radio,” in particular Emperor Rosko and later the legendary Kenny Everett. My broadcasting career began in 1982 when I started working for a local hospital Radio Station at Wythenshawe Hospital, Fab Radio, while at the same time, I was doing my “proper” job working for Timpson’s shoes in Wythenshawe. In 1986, I got my first paid Radio shift. I was presenting the breakfast show on a station in Southern Ireland called ‘Radio West.’ Later in the same year, I went to work for the ‘Voice of Peace’ in a very sunny Israel. After just under 6 months, I left Israel to be a presenter on another great Pirate Radio Station …Radio Caroline on board the Ross Revenge in the English Channel. In January 1990, I was offered a job on the legalized ‘KFM’ and was the station’s first breakfast show presenter. After working on various UK FM radio stations, in 2003, a former Voice of Peace colleague called Dave Asher (anyone remember him?) asked me to work on ‘Magic 999’ in Preston where I presented the Afternoon Show and then Breakfast for 6 years. Presently, I am the afternoon presenter for TKO Radio on the Costa Blanca in Spain. When I'm not broadcasting or doing Disco’s/Corporate Events, I like to search Car Booty’s, Record and Charity Shops for CD’s & Records.
I have been working in the media for over 15 years, and I've been broadcasting for nearly a decade. In that time, I've been the programming controller for the UK's first bilingual student radio station, served as the Production & Promotions Manager for one of Spain's biggest English radio networks, and hosted drive time and breakfast shows on stations in the south east of the UK. I've also had the pleasure of hosting The eXpat Chart. In addition to my radio work, I have experience as a camera operator, video director, and editor. I'm also well-versed in web design. When I'm not behind the microphone, you can find me enthusiastically cheering on the England rugby team and attempting to navigate a golf ball around the course. I also enjoy creating and experimenting in the kitchen, where I try my hand at inventing new and exciting recipes.
