I've searched thoroughly online via Google news, books, etc. — I cannot find a single reliable source which dates the premiere of the "Buzzard" mascot/logo and use of the "Wrath of the Buzzard" phrase at this station (during years as WNAP) prior to their use at WMMS Cleveland in April 1974. Based on this edit (by an unregistered user), and based on that editor's contributions, I suspect that editor may in fact be Randy Michaels, or someone associated with Randy Michaels either personally or professionally. Michaels was head of Jacor Communications in the 1990s and oversaw the purchase of many, many radio stations, including WMMS in 1998. Former WMMS program director John Gorman is a vocal critic of corporate radio, and this may have been a dig at Gorman on the part of Michaels. Or maybe I'm reading too much into it. Regardless, I've reverted the 2009 edit. Use of the Buzzard mascot, the phrase "Wrath of the Buzzard", its origin (partly inspired by a cartoon depicting two buzzards, with one saying to the other "Patience, my ass. I'm gonna kill something!"), etc. at WMMS are well documented online and in print. I see no reason to disregard the WMMS sources until a reliable source confirming that WNAP used the "Buzzard"/"Wrath of the Buzzard" prior to April 1974 is found.
