'''Fernando Martinez''' is a recurring radio personality in many Grand Theft Auto games, starting with [[Grand Theft Auto III]].


[[Fernando Martinez]] is a libertine in [[Grand Theft Auto III]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City]]. In GTA III, he creates a program called ''[[Fernando's New Beginnings]]'' where husbands are found suitable mistresses, but the program is revealed to be a prostitution business. In GTA Vice City, he is the DJ for radio station [[Emotion 98.3]]. A [[Radio Stations|radio station]] which plays power ballads and Fernando uses to teach people to fall in love and to be sexually unbridled. Martinez also does commercials for [[Medallion Man]] in Vice City. On the radio, he is an exaggerated stereotype of a Latin lover. Martinez believes he has a gift with the ladies and as a match-maker. It contrasts with his first appearance in GTA III, where he is exposed as a Caucasian man from upstate New York during a radio interview in [[Chatterbox FM]]. Fernando claims he was forced out of [[Vice City in GTA III Era|Vice City]] when he reappears in GTA San Andreas as a caller to and then impromptu host for the Lonely Hearts Show program on [[West Coast Talk Radio]]. Fernando reappears as a DJ on the [[GTA IV Episodes|Episodes from Liberty City]] exclusive radio station [[Vice City FM]].
== 3D Universe ==
His career dates back to [[1984]], as the co-host of [[Emotion 98.3]]. He originally shared the show with [[Lionel Makepeace]], who was often at odds with him and did not understand Fernando's poetic monologues about passion and lust. He hosted the show himself by [[1986]]. Martinez also does commercials for Medallion Man in Vice City.
 
He was forced out of Vice City for some reason, and moved to San Andreas where he became the improvised host of Lonely Hearts on [[West Coast Talk Radio|WCTR]] in [[1992]].
 
In [[Grand Theft Auto III]], he runs a programs called ''[[Fernando's New Beginnings]]'', where husbands relieve the stress of married life by getting a mistress. He is interviewed on [[Chatterbox FM]] by [[Lazlow Jones|Lazlow]] - when asked about his background, he says he is "Latin" but later admits that he is from [[Upstate Liberty]]. Lazlow ends the show by yelling "You're just a cheap pimp from Upstate, get out of my studio!".
 
== HD Universe ==
In [[2008]], Fernando is the host of [[GTA IV Episodes|Episodes from Liberty City]] exclusive radio station [[Vice City FM]]. He admits that he has several children, he is a registered sex offender not allowed within 200 yards of a school, and has a sexually transmitted infection.
 
By [[2013]] he moved to [[Los Santos in GTA V|Los Santos]] and began hosting The Fernando Show alongside his producer Jo. Fernando attempts to show a new side to his personality having received 'treatment' for his womanising ways. He interviews [[Sue Murry]] before expressing his love for her, shortly before she leaves the interview.
