THE WRATH OF THE BUZZARD | PART 5

While 1976 could be defined with the words “get down,” the ratings and success of WMMS could be described with the words “going up.” But if the station gets to number 1, how do they stay there? And what can the city of Cleveland gain when a number 1 radio station decides put all of its weight behind a movement?
