That the one where Chuck Berry volunteers to play for free?

American Graffiti, where Richie Cunningham gets to meet Wolfman Jack?

^^ I was just going to ask if American Graffiti counted.

thanks for posting lords of salem shakey

the boat that rocked is truly abominable and features a ‘hilarious’ sex scene that is actually a rape, richard curtis is a monster

airheads on the other hand is good not bad

Not a movie, but I wish I could find a clip of the Saturday Night Live sketch where Harry Shearer was the sole DJ for a laid back FM and hyper-manic AM rock station.

oh man i'd forgotten all about that wolfman jack scene in american graffiti. maybe the best part of the movie though?

Never actually seen this - think it's p heavily indebted to Wenders - but it does have radio in the title and one of the characters is a DJ:

it was Dreyfuss not Howard who met Wolfman Jack

Sex and broadcasting, the documentary about WFMU is excellent.

The first Pitch Perfect was on TV last night, and I'd forgotten there was a very minor plotline about Mackenzie Astin and Anna Kendrick working together at the college radio station.

Oh yeah, of course, xpost times 2

If we’re taking TV shows, many of the best bits from Northern Exposure happen during the Chris in the Morning radio show.

Tim Curry IS DJ Johnny LaGuardia, in the 1980 movie Times Square

^ one of the few that actually fits the thread

DJ's are key characters in Play Misty for Me and Vanishing Point, but I don't think you can say either station was a rock station.

Grosse Point Blank has some good rock radio station scenes

XP - Same with The Fog, but the horrible shopping mall/elevator library Jazz passed off as well known music, which is presumably all they could afford, is a source of amusement.

I have heard a rumor that Francis Ford Coppola is planning a biopic (or maybe a TV show) about Scott Muni from WNEW. Working title: Scottso
