Steve Murphy
Managing Editor Steve Murphy has worked at WCCO Radio News for 30 years and still loves his job even though it requires getting to work at 4 am! A native of Virginia, Murphy dabbled in radio while serving in the US Navy and anchored the news at his campus radio station at Rutgers University, where he obtained a BA in History. He worked at radio stations in Winona, MN and Cedar Rapids, IA before coming to WCCO in 1980.
Murphy says he feels lucky to have worked for many years with such talented journalists. And he says WCCO’s loyal listeners – many of whom provide feedback and frequent news tips – make the job especially worthwhile. Murphy and his wife Monica have three grown children, four grandchildren, a dog and several alarm clocks.
