About

Martin Stanford is an award-winning broadcaster, journalist and event host.

For 25 years, Martin was an anchor and reporter at Sky News where he covered numerous major stories including the death of Diana Princess of Wales, the Michael Jackson trial and the Boxing Day tsunami.

Martin's broadcasting career stretches over thirty years, beginning as a presenter for BBC local radio before moving to BBC Southampton. Four years later, he moved to BSB News and later joined Sky News, after working as a Field Producer in Amman, Jordan.

Martin joined Sky News in 1990 at the height of the Gulf War, and presented Sky News' flagship Sky News at Ten and the nine o'clock news before moving to Sky News Today.

Master of the often imitated Sky Newswall, Martin has juggled with ease breaking news, press conferences, and individual interviews. Martin presented Sky News' first virtual broadcast from a 3D House of Commons during the 1997 General Election.

Martin regularly anchored Sky News on location, and presented Sky's coverage of Hurricane Katrina from the disaster zone and its coverage of the Israel – Lebanon conflict. He also played a key role in the channel's acclaimed coverage of the Indian Ocean Tsunami, travelling to Sri Lanka and interviewing many of the survivors and rescuers.

In 2007 Martin fronted Sky News' Crime Uncovered week and helped relaunch, online, the popular Sky News technology show Technofile, making an appropriate host as he is enthusiastic and knowledgeable about technology and a great communicator of that enthusiasm.

In 2019, Martin joined Global media as a presenter on LBC News radio. Martin hosts the weekday 9.00am to noon sweep, with news updates, interviews and event coverage including interviews with key politicians, coverage of key statements and announcements and hearings from various parliamentary committees.
