Career.
Molan's first job in media was in community television in Canberra. She then gained a job as a reporter and presenter for WIN Television and moved to Sydney in 2010 to work for the Nine Network.
In 2012, she joined "The NRL Footy Show" on a regular basis, appearing mainly on the "League of their Own" segment as well as being their roving reporter. In 2014, she has become a permanent co-host of the program working alongside Paul Vautin, Darryl Brohman, Beau Ryan, and former test cricketer Michael Slater. Molan has also appeared on "The Sunday Footy Show" as a regular since 2012, mainly doing the "Around the Grounds" segment reporting.
In 2016, Molan was appointed host of "The NRL Rookie", which aired on 9Go!.
Molan is a regular fill in sport presenter on "Nine News" and "Today". From December 2016, she was made permanent Friday and Saturday sport presenter on "Nine News Sydney" replacing Yvonne Sampson who moved to Fox Sports.
It was announced on 3 October 2018 that, after 24 years, "The NRL Footy Show" would be axed following the worst slide in ratings in the shows history.
Radio.
In November 2020, Southern Cross Austereo announced that Molan, Dave Hughes and Ed Kavalee would replace Jamie Angel to host "The 2Day FM Morning Crew with Hughesy, Ed and Erin Molan" from Monday, January 18 2021. A one-hour highlights package will air nationally at 6pm across the Hit Network.
Controversies.
Molan hosted "Nine's Wide World of Sports" coverage of the 2017 Fast5 Netball World Series. In May 2017, in the aftermath of domestic violence charges against Parramatta player Semi Radradra being dropped, Molan was publicly slammed by a small number of fans and by sections of the media for supposedly painting Radradra as being guilty and not giving the player the presumption of innocence when the allegations were first aired. Molan was asked by fans and the media to make a public apology to Radradra but no apology was forthcoming; Molan had publicly stated that Radradra deserved the presumption of innocence, and rather than being specific about his case, her comments were about what the NRL's stance ought to be in the event of domestic violence being found proven against any player, regardless of calibre.
From 2018, she became the sole host of "The NRL Footy Show" as well as hosting "The Sunday Footy Show". In August 2018, Molan and "The Sunday Footy Show" issued former NRL player Dave Taylor with an apology after being accused of fat shaming the player during a video segment.
In June 2020, Molan was criticized for mocking the name of Tongan Rugby League player Haumole Olakau'atu on the 2GB radio program "The Continuous Call". Molan alleges that her nonsensical imitation of Olakau'atu's name was in reference to a previous discussion between the radio hosts where they grappled with how to correctly pronounce Pacific Islander names.
