TONY MURPHY, BASKETBALL TOP TEN AND THE GOOD GUYS 

Around the 1970s, WARM 's Sensational 7 wax winnowed down to about 6 jocks. So a new name, "The Good Guys was marketing the station. Newcomer Tony Murphy was an audience favorite too. WARM started the slow transition into being the sports leader and began ranking the top football and basketball teams. This survey sheet from that era says so much in just a few words.
