THE LOS ANGELES TIMES wrote at length about Hollywood Correspondent GAYL MURPHY both times she traveled to the PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA to report on the state of pop music there. The newspaper affectionately characterized her as "the peripatetic entertainment reporter" that she is, and then wrote about her again when she "happily went to 'the wall' for rock 'n' roll in Berlin" after she filed a series of radio features on the emerging music scene in a newly reunified Germany.

In addition to assignments in Beijing, Shanghai and Berlin, MURPHY'S travels in broadcasting have taken her throughout Europe, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Japan. In her on-air career, which spans 20-years, Murphy estimates she's conducted more than 10,000 celebrity interviews.

Gayl Murphy, Hollywood
Correspondent

Over the years, Murphy's fine-tuned skills have been sought after by prestigious news and media organizations worldwide. Always one to track a great story, her interviews and news features have appeared on ABC News, ABC Radio Networks, ABC Radio International, ABC Television, BBC Radio, BBC Television, E! Entertainment Television, MCM Networking/Australia and Europe, KFI/LA, American Online, US Magazine, Artists Services/Australia, WENN/UK, NOW Magazine/Australia, SFX Radio, Winstar Radio, KFWB/LA, Canadian Broadcast Co., Film Review, ROCK Magazine, Associated Press, Global Satellite Network and Sony Worldwide Radio Networks.

Murphy's career on-air began in The City of Angeles, after wrangling her way on to the airwaves at KROQ as the lovely and talented German dominatrix Greta La Gumbo on "The Young Marquis Show. "

After leaving her black leather corset behind, Murphy jumped the dial to KWST and became their "Traffic Tootsie," complete with a '57 Chevy. After KWST she decided to settle down for awhile and landed at KLOS and ABC Rock Radio Network for the next 17 years.

At KLOS Murphy created her persona as LA's first and only, On-Air Backstage Entertainment Reporter - regularly broadcasting live from huge rock concerts and entertainment events throughout Southern California. For the ABC Networks Murphy did interviews and feature reporting on films, television and popular culture.

It was Murphy's strong radio presence and persona that motivated The Hollywood Reporter to label her the "media veteran" she is, and Performance Magazine to sum her up as a "mainstay" and "one of this town's only on-air reporters covering the Hollywood scene!"

For her contributions in public service broadcasting, MURPHY took top honors with a SUNNY Award from the Southern California Broadcasters Association. She's also the recipient of two Certificates of Merit Awards from the County of Los Angeles and two Finalist Awards from the International Radio Festival of New York.

Murphy is a member in good standing of The Broadcast Film Critics Association, American Federation of Television and Radio Artists and The Screen Actors Guild.
