On this day, March 15, in 1972

Los Angeles Radio station, 93 KHJ, was raided by the police, when their popular morning show host played Donny Osmond’s song “Puppy Love” nonstop for an hour and a half. Listeners became concerned that the radio station had been taken over; the confused LAPD officers responded quickly, but left without making any arrests. Although this particular raid wasn’t an attack on free speech, there have been many other radio station raids in American history, most of which were politically motivated and involved corrupt government officials trying to squash community resistance.
