Maybe it started with WKRP. That's as far back as anyone here could remember. Then there was Newsradio. Both great shows set in radio stations that resonated with a lot of people. More recently, VH1 gave us Freeradio. We're lazy on research today so we didn't check to see if it's still on but, you can probably get past eps at least.
With radio coming under fire from many angles lately, would anyone consider making another tv show about this medium in transition? Why not? It's actually a great time to capitalize on all the wild stuff that's going on and how that affects the people in the biz. And who better to do it than a guy who is actually doing morning radio right now?
The creator is LA morning dood Larry Morgan and he's made a pilot for a show called "Indie". It's a funny, inside look at what's happening at a station in trouble. We'll skip the recap and just give you the link. No laugh track, no budget, just good comedy.

ReplyDelete'took a long time to draw me in. But that it did. A pro director, more cameras, lighting, and a writer or two will make this work.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with this. Unfortunately, the run will have to reflect the actual timeline of the cannibalism of Spanish Spoken formats and the show will end in sixteen months. Given the station stays on that silly Alt tear.
