Plot summary
When a radio station's management announces that there is going to be concentration on top-40 rather than "true" rock, the disc jockeys form a united front against the "suits". With station manager Jeff Dugan's unofficial approval, the other employees hijack the station, playing the kind of music they like before the authorities can arrive. Martin Mull appears in his feature film debut as a zoned-out record spinner. In addition, the film includes live appearances by Linda Ronstadt, Jimmy Buffett, Tom Petty, and REO Speedwagon. Steely Dan performs the classic title theme, and Dan Fogelberg also contributes soundtrack music.Main cast
