The narrative centers on WOXY, an Ohio radio station that emerged in 1983 as a bold alternative to corporate rock, embracing a diverse array of genres and supporting local independent artists. As alternative rock gained popularity in the 1990s, WOXY earned acclaim as one of the last great independent radio stations, championed by Rolling Stone. Its philosophy emphasized the importance of community and collaboration in fostering genuine, progressive change, advocating for a future shaped by collective creativity and resistance to mainstream conformity.
