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:
“Each of the professions means a prejudice. The necessity for a career forces every one to take sides. We live in the age of the overworked, and the under-educated; the age in which people are so industrious that they become absolutely stupid.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“The problem, thus, is not whether or not women are to combine marriage and motherhood with work or career but how they are to do so—concomitantly in a two-role continuous pattern or sequentially in a pattern involving job or career discontinuities.”
—Jessie Bernard (20th century)
