Liliana Bencini, a well known announcer on the former Redifussion (cable radio) service, passed away over the weekend.
A fellow broadcaster, Peter Paul Ciantar, paid tribute to her as an announcer "with a golden voice" who was admired by many.
"She was one of the best announcers in the Rediffusion days" Mr Ciantar said, adding that he had learnt a lot from her.
Ms Bencini also used to present a classical musical programme - Il-Kompozitur tal-gimgha - with Mr Ciantar.
"In her many years at Rediffusion, she impressed with her dedication, and with the clarity of her voice over cable radio," Mr Ciantar said.
