Longtime WPEC-TV Channel 12 sports director and sports anchor Pat Murphy will
retire next week. His final broadcast will be on March 11. He has been the lead sports anchor at
the West Palm Beach station since 1995. Murphy was set to retire from the station last summer but he put that off. It is another blow to that news operation because sports anchor and sports reporter Josh Samuels recently left the station back in late January.
Prior to WPEC-TV, Murphy was the sports director
and sports anchor at crosstown rival WPTV-TV Channel 5 from 1983 to
1995. While others have come and gone from the local market like Craig Minervini
and Larry Smith, Murphy's reign of 30 years as a West Palm Beach sportscaster is
right up there with Jim Gallagher, Buck Kinnaird and Marc Goldberg.
