After 42 years with the network, C-SPAN Vice President of Programming Terry Murphy has announced he is retiring.
Murphy will depart C-SPAN on January 6th, 2023. He was originally hired as a field technician in 1981 before moving into a management role. He has guided the editorial decisions for the network for decades.
“It’s impossible to overstate the impact Terry has had on our network,” said C-SPAN co-CEO Susan Swain. “Terry should also be recognized for his outsized editorial impact as an advocate for the public’s right to access their government. When Congress or other public officials said, ‘Event’s closed,’ Terry always asked why.”
C-SPAN Vice President of Digital Media Richard Weinstein will replace Murphy, himself a longtime employee of the network. He started with the channel in 1986 and has overseen the network’s mobile app and website. Under his direction, C-SPAN is expected to merge television and digital content across both platforms.
