  • Summary

  • 100.7, WMMS. The Buzzard. How did this station become so iconic? How did a small group of young hippies, some from Ohio, some from Boston, against all odds and no budget, achieve such unprecedented success? And how did it all come crashing down? This is the story of the rise and fall of WMMS - one of the most influential FM rock stations of all time. SEASON 2 | THE WRATH OF THE BUZZARD “PROHFILES” explores the backstories behind the people you always wish you knew better, the places you've visited but never learned their secrets, and the ideas and events that together make Ohio a great place to call home. PROHFILES is a Wessler Media original podcast on the Evergreen Podcasts Network.

Thanks

A nice step back in time when WMMS was rock ‘n’ roll for Cleveland. Well put together and I enjoyed it immensely.
