Erin Molan

Erin Molan was born on August 24, 1983, in Canberra, Australia. Her early life involved frequently moving due to her father Jim Molan’s career in the Australian Army, leading her to attend sixteen different schools, including time in Jakarta, Indonesia. Molan’s media career began in community television in Canberra before she secured a reporting and presenting role with WIN Television. In 2010, she transitioned to the Nine Network in Sydney, marking a significant step in her broadcasting journey.

Her career at the Nine Network developed rapidly, with Molan joining “The NRL Footy Show” on a regular basis in 2012. Initially, she contributed to segments like “League of their Own” and served as a roving reporter. By 2014, Molan became a permanent co-host of the program, working alongside Paul Vautin, Darryl Brohman, Beau Ryan, and Michael Slater. Her presence on “The Sunday Footy Show” also became regular from 2012, where she primarily reported for the “Around the Grounds” segment. From 2019, she hosted the secondary broadcast for 9Gem of the Australian Open tennis tournament. She also served as the Friday and Saturday sports presenter on “Nine News Sydney.” In December 2021, Molan departed the Nine Network to join Sky News Australia as a primetime contributor, also becoming a columnist for “The Daily Telegraph.”

Beyond her television and radio roles, Molan has engaged in various projects and advocacy work. In 2017, she hosted Nine’s Wide World of Sports’ coverage of the Fast5 Netball World Series. She is recognized for her advocacy on online safety, which led to the 2021 passage of the ‘Online Safety Act,’ often referred to as ‘Erin’s Law.’ In 2024, she publicly shared her experiences with domestic violence, aiming to support other survivors. In a notable career development, in February 2025, Molan became the host of “69 X Minutes,” a news show funded by Elon Musk and broadcast on Twitter.
