History
Originally a spin-off from Murray's previous Sky News program 180: The Other Side of the News, Paul Murray Live debuted in 2010 and presents the days news, offering commentary and a panel discussion on what has happened in the last 24 hours.
From 2015, Paul Murray Live will air weeknights, rather than its previous timeslots of Sunday to Thursday evenings throughout 2014, to make way for Hinch Live, which will air Saturday and Sundays as a continuation of the Paul Murray Live brand. From July 2016, the program airs a highlights edition on Friday evenings to allow Murray to host new format Saturday Edition on Saturdays.
Janine Perrett serves as substitute anchor of the program.
On 11 October 2016, during a broadcast of the program from Wentworth Park, viewers on social media noticed that Murray's fly was undone while interviewing the NSW Deputy Premier Troy Grant. Murray resolved the wardrobe malfunction later in the episode.
The program has expanded to 2 hours in 2017, following the ending of SportsNight with James Bracey in 2016. Also in 2017, Paul Murray Live held programs from locations outside the studio with a live audience.
