FM is a comedy-drama film released in 1978. Directed by John A. Alonzo, the movie revolves around the fictional radio station Q-SKY in Los Angeles. The story follows the station's struggle to preserve its authenticity and independent spirit amidst corporate interference and pressure.
The radio station Q-SKY is incredibly popular in Los Angeles due to its unique and rebellious programming. The station's DJs take pride in playing non-mainstream music and avoiding the commercialized hits played by other stations. Their unorthodox approach to running the station and their dedication to playing music they believe in have made Q-SKY a huge success in terms of ratings.
However, trouble arises when the station is bought by a corporate conglomerate named Network Communications, led by the ruthless executive Jeff Dugan (played by Michael Brandon). Network Communications aims to commercialize Q-SKY, transforming it into a more profitable and formulaic station.
While some DJs, like Mother (played by Eileen Brennan), are willing to embrace the corporate changes for personal gain, others, such as Eric Swan (played by Martin Mull), resist the interference. Swan believes that staying true to the station's original spirit is of utmost importance, and he becomes the leader of the resistance against the corporate takeover.
As the conflict between the corporate executives and the rebellious DJs escalates, the film explores the personal relationships, creative struggles, and ideological battles within the radio station. Love interests, friendships, and rivalries develop among the characters, adding depth to the plot.
Amidst the chaos, the DJs and their genuine love for music keep fighting for their autonomy and the unique voice of Q-SKY. With the help of their listeners and loyal fans, they devise strategies to outmaneuver the corporate pressure, boost their ratings, and regain control of their beloved station.
FM offers a satirical and humorous take on the struggle between artistic integrity and corporate influence within the entertainment industry, specifically in the context of radio. It showcases the power of resistance, community support, and the importance of individuality in the face of homogenization.
