'''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]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]. 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 station which plays power ballads and Fernando uses to teach people to fall in love and to be sexually unbridled. 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]].
