I was kind of board yesterday afternoon and decided to see what free
movies were on “On Demand” and found one of the best “Radio” movies
around “FM”.  It has a great sound track and 2 great concerts in the
movie.  The first being Jimmy Buffet and the other a Linda Ronstate
concert.

I have been trying to find this movie on DVD for a
while now.  Netflix use to have it but was on my wish list so long that
they dropped it from there movie list, the local Blockbuster had it and
I grabed it off the shelf, but it was a bad copy and wouldn’t play.

The film perfectly captures the feel of the late 1970s. The casting is
great, with a passionate performance by Michael Brandon and a very
funny one by Martin Mull. The background music is just right and the
concert appearances of Jimmy Buffett and Linda Ronstadt add to the late
1970s atmosphere. A young Tom Petty gets interviewed at the radio
station. REO Speedwagon also appears at a record store signing. If
you’re a fan of WKRP, then check out this movie.

This
movie captures what needs to happen again in radio today..the jocks
need to take over the station and make the listeners and the music the
focus of the station.  As I have said before and I will say it
again…Big business is killing radio and it’s time for the people to
take back the air waves…

So to see what radio should be like today check out “FM”.
