They screened the movie this week at the Glenwood . . . Notice all of the local footage and a few faces Kansas City media people might recognize.
The movie website: FMFilm.com
A bit of an extended teaser tagline:
"The internet didn't kill radio, commercial radio is killing itself. Ever wonder why über-corporations like Clear Channel can take over local radio stations, fire your favorite deejay and ignore the local music movements? How can they make money when fewer and fewer people listen? Private Equity firms such as Bain Capital have destroyed radio and made handsome profits along the way."
Here's the trailer on Youtube:

It's nice to see the anti-corporate sentiment running deep in Kansas City and this local movie is a great example of cowtown media people moving past the corporate structure.
