Murphy spent two years as co-host and reporter for The Inquirer High School Sports Show alongside Joe Briscella. Prior to coming to Philadelphia, Murphy was the weekend sports anchor and reporter for WFMZ-TV in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
Murphy then worked at CN8 where he hosted Out of Bounds, an hour-long sports program airing at 7 p.m. on weeknights that examined various sports stories across the nation, specifically those within CN8's viewing area from Maine to Virginia.
