Background

Morgan Murphy Media is a family-owned American local broadcast group based in Madison, Wisconsin, tracing its roots to a newspaper founded in 1890 before expanding into radio and television and later exiting print in 2003. It now runs television stations and 16 radio stations across eight markets spanning Wisconsin, Washington, Missouri, Michigan and Texas.

As a smaller, family-controlled group rather than a national chain, Morgan Murphy Media represents the local-news end of the broadcast industry now being courted by AI production vendors looking to sell automation into newsrooms with thin staffing.

It featured at the IBC 2026 Innovation Awards through its deployment of Newspulse, an agentic AI platform for local-news production built by the media-technology vendor Amagi, not by Morgan Murphy Media itself.
