Follow Me On TwitterEsme Murphy, a reporter and Sunday morning anchor for WCCO-TV, has been a member of the WCCO-TV staff since December 1990. She is also a weekend talk show host on WCCO Radio. Born and raised in New York City, Esme ventured into reporting after graduating from Harvard University.
She started in Chattanooga at the CBS station, then ventured across Tennessee to Memphis to work for the ABC affiliate.
She jumped when she got the big call to come to WCCO and
has never looked back.
She has won numerous awards during her career, including Associated Press First
Place Awards for non-spot news reporting, feature reporting and investigative
reporting.
In her spare time Esme often finds herself in the role of
hockey Mom to Harrison, born in 1999 and Esme
(yes another Esme) born in 2001.
Esme's husband, David Klopp, is the owner
of a chain of furniture stores in the
Twin Cities called Sofas and Chairs. Esme has even been known to deliver a sofa or two. (It's a small
business.)
Esme loves her job and her family and if it weren't for her job she wouldn't
have a family. That's right -- Esme met her husband when she interviewed him.
David was working with a community group to help create the Cedar Lake Bicycle
Trail. There were plans to turn the rail corridor into a condo development.
David likes to say he not only got the bike trail -- he got the girl!
Esme has a wonderful husband and family. The Twin Cities and WCCO are definitely home.
