“Just for fun… we also get her to read the intro for old times’ sake,” wrote Jordan Armstrong, current Global BC reporter and anchor, on X.
Martin’s broadcast journalism career stretches back to the mid-1970s when she was a co-host and producer at CHEK-TV and CKNW’s first female reporter.
She would begin working at BCTV (now Global BC) in 1977 and was an anchor at the station until 2001, when she moved to CTV British Columbia.
Martin would co-anchor the CTV News at Six alongside Bill Good until the end of 2010. Since then, she has worked as Director of Engagement for the Government of B.C., and regularly supports important causes like the Coast Mental Health Foundation, Pacific Autism Family Network, and the International Women’s Forum.

“I grew up watching you in my hometown of Penticton,” added another viewer. “I’m thankful this showed up on my feed.”
