By
the time "Murray the K in New York" aired in 1967, Murray had introduced
rock on the FM dial and was “mainstreaming” rock on TV. “Murray the K in New
York” integrated on-location rock performances with the choreography and shtick
of TV variety shows, cameo appearances by Joe Namath, Marty Allen, and Ed
Sullivan, and mime and dance routines by Murray himself – not exactly what
was expected from the faceless ranks of most 1960s D.J.s. Other acts on the
show included Jim & Jean and Murray's wife, known of course as Jackie
the K.

"It's What's Happening, Baby" changed the face
of television in 1965. It combined rock 'n' roll, exterior locations, and
black,
white, and Latino performers during a two-hour show that thrilled a generation
of teenagers... and outraged the U. S. Congress. Other performers on the program
included Jan & Dean, Mary Wells, the Dave Clark Five, Cannibal and the
Headhunters,
and Gary Lewis and the Playboys.
