Hill was a presenter of Sky TV's Sports Cafe.

Hill was formerly a member of New Zealand band The Able Tasmans. He and bandmate Peter Keen released an album, The Overflow, as "Humphreys and Keen". When Humphreys began broadcasting on bFM, he took the pseudonym "Graeme Hill". This helped him avoid embarrassment when he played Able Tasmans songs. As his media profile outgrew his musical one, he became better known by his "wrong" name.
