Founded by John T. Murphy in 1890 as the Evening Telegram Co. in Superior, Wisconsin, the company’s roots began in print journalism.

Once The Telegram was firmly established in Superior, Murphy branched out to build a chain of publications. It was the beginning of a growing media enterprise that would soon expand into radio and television.

John T. Murphy was succeeded in the family business in 1932 by his son John “Morgan” Murphy, who served as an apprentice at the newspaper from an early age. Morgan was an extraordinary entrepreneur who expanded the enterprise into a chain of Northland newspapers, as well as into the emerging technologies of radio and television.

The expanding enterprise, dubbed Morgan Murphy Media, was one of Wisconsin’s earliest proponents of commercial television. In 1955, the FCC granted Morgan the license for WISC-TV in Madison, Wisconsin, and the station aired its first program on June 24, 1956.
