    Murphy did fine in the big leagues, KRLA in ’72 and then WCFL/Chicago. As did Jerry Kay and Larry Lujack in Chicago. Scotty Brink, who worked in most of the major markets. Gary Shannon cooked alongside Coyote McCloud in Nashville. There were not many that could make the jump to the majors, but there were a few.

    Pat O’Day offered Steve west a gig at KJRB to get him out of Tacoma and away from KTAC, which was a threat to KJR at the time. I would say Derek Shannon was just as much a great programmer and took KTAC to the next level.
