This week on Transmission, Jake Rudh spotlights 120 Minutes, the influential program that could be found on MTV Sunday nights back in the late 80s and 90s. No doubt loads of artists who were first heard on that special program inspired much of what we play on The Current today, and we're going to hear many of them on this week’s show.
