50s radio romp, includes Chubby Checker
29 December 2006
A fun radio romp in the late 50s involving a town effort to shut down the mythical Peoria rock & roll station.

Full of period music and vintage radio equipment. Includes a guest appearance by Twist originator Chubby Checker.

Pat Richardson (well known from Home Improvement) convincingly plays a young station manager who has inherited station WOF from her dad and wants to do the right thing on behalf of rock & roll and the youth of Peoria. She becomes caught in a tug-of-war with the town elders and advertisers who want nothing to do with the newfangled 'rock and roll' music and try to shut down the station.

Includes a short romantic interlude with Quantum Leap lead Scott Bakula.

Trivia: In real life, there is no WOF-AM.
