Podcast: CTV’s Steve Murphy Reflects On 45 Years Of Covering Atlantic Canadian News And Business
On this week’s “Insights” podcast, longtime CTV broadcaster Steve Murphy relinquishes his role as an interviewer and becomes the interviewee, as co-hosts Don Mills and David Campbell quiz him about his 45-year career, including the most significant events he has covered, his assessment of the most consequential premiers, most interesting interviews and how Atlantic Canada has changed over the course of his four decades in the business.
At the end of November, Steve stepped down from his role as CTV News Atlantic’s Executive News Editor and Chief Anchor for the flagship news program, CTV News At Six.
In the first of a two-part conversation, Steve talks about his love for Atlantic Canada and his optimistic view of the future prospects for the economy and our communities, based on his depth of experience covering politics and business across the region.
“We are capable of big things,” he says. “There is no better way to test yourself than to take on some big things and see how you do. And you know what? We usually do pretty damn well.”
