A mutiny ensues when the management of a radio station announces that it will be increasing the number of commercials aired, and pushing ads for army recruitment. The anti-establishment disc jockeys, manager, and other employees hijack the station and play what they like before the authorities arrive to stop them.

Trivia
Many AM radio stations played an edited version of the movie's title song in which an overdubbed "A" was substituted for the "F" of FM.
Often believed to be the inspiration for the TV show "WKRP in Cincinnati" (1978), but in fact the pilot for that show was filmed before this film's release.
