Before the Camera: An Autobiography

by Steve Murphy

ATV anchorman Steve Murphy, Atlantic Canada’s most trusted source for news, tells the remarkable story of his life on and off the air. Steve Murphy recalls in his trademark straightforward and honest style his career in radio and television. He details his start as a news researcher and reporter in Saint John for CFRB Radio in Grade 11, his graduation to television in 1982, his years writing, producing and hosting Live at 5. He also writes about his current position as Atlantic Canada’s most recognizable news anchor on atv and a regular replacement for Lloyd Robertson on CTV national news. Reporter, writer, producer, researcher, husband, father, Maritimer—Before the Camera gives readers a chance to get to know all of the faces of Steve Murphy, for like the best of autobiographies, this is not just the story of the man seen on the news, but of the man behind it.
