Savage's beast: How 'The Corner' took a bite of local radio

WCNR 106.1-FM has grabbed the attention of the national radio industry, too, with a "Station of the Year" nomination from trade publication Radio and Records. And naturally, with such a rapid rise, questions abound about this new beast on the block.
