Morning Madness: Robert Murphy on WKQX (Q101) Chicago | January 1984
The competition was incredible, and so was the air talent heard every morning in Chicagoland during this, the heyday of FM CHR!

I had the pleasure of listening to Robert Murphy on his Murphy in the Morning show during his hayday. This sample is mild compared to some of the really funny ones.
I can remember a classic where he ran a contest to a free vacation to the Isles of Langrahan, which turned out to be a medical term for a part of the body. That’s only a small example. Many times he would appear live on street corners, where I saw him once. His blend with Beth Kay and little tommy was a classic. Wish I could find more of his recordings….
Agreed, I remember Murphy in the morning for destructo-phone, dial-a-date, stump the murph, and other crazy stunts they did. Crazy jingles, etc. They were well ahead of their time.
I have a ton of it on tape somewhere.
I loved Murphy in the morning! Does anyone remember the name of the physic lady he had on? She was great, but I can’t remember her name.
I have 90 minutes of his 3rd Anniversary show on MP3 which is hilarious! I don’t remember the name of the physic lady but other classics on the show include Mr. Codgers, Lance Butt-man and the Young and the Impotent episodes.
