Matt Collins will be taking over the airwaves for Triple M's MIA breakfast show

Mr Collins has a long history on radio, coming to Griffith from Dubbo where he broadcast on 2DU, and has also been heard as far as South Australia and rural Queensland - where he got his start in community radio.

He also hosts the podcast 'Coffee Chats with Matt Collins,' where he interviews Australians from sporting heroes, criminals and police negotiators to famous faces like Julia Morris and Troy Cassar-Daley.

He said he was 'excited' to begin hitting the airwaves in the MIA.

"It has been a hell of a journey so far and I am excited for the next chapter here at Triple M Griffith and becoming a part of the SCA family," he said.

"I'm looking forward to sampling the coffee, the food and the wine, and getting involved in this great region. I already feel that I've come to the right place. It is such a welcoming community."
