Carmen Reddy currently co-hosts East Coast Breakfast on East Coast Radio, airing weekdays from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. “I’ve always been a bit of a jack-of-all-trades,” she remarks, reflecting on her diverse career that has spanned radio, journalism, and television.
Born in Durban, Carmen moved to Gauteng with her family at a young age and completed her secondary education at Sutherland High School in Pretoria. She pursued an undergraduate degree and honours degree in journalism at the University of Pretoria. Her passion for radio was ignited during this time, as she explains, “The radio bug bit me when I worked at our community campus radio station, and I’ve been doing it ever since.”
Following her academic years, Carmen took on the role of news editor at a local radio station in Pretoria before relocating to Johannesburg. There, she established herself in the media industry, working at prominent news organisations including the SABC and 702, where she not only read the news but also reported as a journalist. “It was quite an experience working in Johannesburg,” she says, recalling her time in the city.
