Tony Miles

Tony is a Methodist Minister based at Methodist Central Hall, Westminster. He’s a man of many talents - one of which is supporting commercial radio as an ecumenical Media Chaplain.

Tony has many years of radio experience, and has been presenting the Saturday Breakfast show for Premier since 1997. Before joining the station, he presented a weekly programme for Ten 17 FM. His passion for broadcasting was fostered during eight years of hospital radio and through running his own mobile discotheque.

Tony is married to Frances and they live with their two children, Hannah and Jonathan, in Loughton, Essex. They wrote their first book, Like A Child, in 2003. Tony enjoys writing and is a regular contributor to Living Light published by the Nationwide Christian Trust.

His involvement with other organisations sees him as a trustee for the Churches Media Council, the Christian Evidence Society, and the Chigwell Riding Trust for special needs. He is also a member of the Churches Advertising Network. He is a Rotarian, a supporter of Fulham Football Club, and he keeps himself fit through regular visits to a local gym.
