Biography
Evelyn Martin was the longest serving announcer on LM Radio. Born of Portuguese parents in Johannesburg, she joined the station in 1950 as a programme compiler and within a short time was roped in to record Afrikaans announcements. When Valerie Meyer left in 1953 to get married, Evelyn took over the children's Lucky Dip, Birthday greetings and Hospital programmes. She worked on LM until she was evacuated to Johannesburg after the occupation of the Radio Clube studios in 1974. Evelyn presented just about every programme at one time or another. After leaving LM she worked on Springbok Radio and Radio Highveld. She is now retired and lives in Johannesburg.
