Career
In 2002, Murray won the Brian White Award for radio reporter of the year for his journalistic work on Sydney's Bushfires, the federal election and the collapse of Ansett.
In 2004, Murray started hosting a wide-reaching weekly talk show on Nova 96.9. At the end of that year, he was nominated for current affairs commentator of the year at the annual radio industry awards. He was nominated alongside Alan Jones and Ray Hadley. His show, titled "The Paul Murray Show", was then extended to air from 10pm to midnight Sunday to Thursday.
Late in 2005, Murray left Nova 96.9 to commence his television career. In November 2005, he began reporting and hosting segments for the Seven Network's morning current affairs & variety program Sunrise; later he was a regular guest on Weekend Sunrise.
In 2008, Murray joined The Shebang with Marty Sheargold and Fifi Box on Triple M's Sydney breakfast shift and also co-hosted the short-lived chat show The Night Cap on 7 HD. The latter program debuted with the first known public discussion of the child-hood accident that left him with only nine toes. He also joined Sky News Australia where he began hosting 180 with Paul Murray (now known as Paul Murray Live).
At the start of 2009 Murray began hosting the All New Paul Murray Show on Sydney and Melbourne's Triple M from 7pm-10pm weekdays and on Brisbane's Triple M from 10pm-1am. Later that year, he was replaced by Ugly Phil and began hosting a drive program, Paul & Rach with Rachel Corbett.
In November 2010, it was announced that Murray will move to 2UE.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“I began my editorial career with the presidency of Mr. Adams, and my principal object was to render his administration all the assistance in my power. I flattered myself with the hope of accompanying him through [his] voyage, and of partaking in a trifling degree, of the glory of the enterprise; but he suddenly tacked about, and I could follow him no longer. I therefore waited for the first opportunity to haul down my sails.”
—William Cobbett (1762–1835)
“I’ve been in the twilight of my career longer than most people have had their career.”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
“He was at a starting point which makes many a man’s career a fine subject for betting, if there were any gentlemen given to that amusement who could appreciate the complicated probabilities of an arduous purpose, with all the possible thwartings and furtherings of circumstance, all the niceties of inward balance, by which a man swings and makes his point or else is carried headlong.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
