Los Angeles radio station QSKY has become a ratings juggernaut under the guidance of hip, passionate program director Jeff Dugan (played by Michael Brandon). The executives who own the station naturally see it as an opportunity to make lots and lots of money by flooding the airwaves with ads. Meanwhile, the personal lives of the DJs are also in turmoil: Mother (Eileen Brennan) is burnt out with the radio lifestyle and wants to quit; Doc (Alex Karras) has been losing his audience and is on the verge of being fired; Eric Swan (Martin Mull, in his movie debut) has fantasies about becoming a game show host and ignores his affectionate girlfriend; Dugan himself has the hots for Laura (Cassie Yates), who isn't sure she's ready for a steady relationship. A laid-back comedy, FM is deeply, deeply '70s. It portrays its radio heroes as if they were as significant as the rock music they spin. When the corporate suits try to force Dugan to play ads for the U.S. Army, the DJs occupy the station in protest, setting off a near riot. (The irony, of course, is that the music QSKY plays is all top-40 hits of the '70s.) FM features appearances by Tom Petty, Jimmy Buffet, REO Speedwagon, and extensive concert footage of Linda Ronstadt. --Bret Fetzer

Customer Reviews of FM

a realistic look at 70s radio
this movie will take you back to when rock music came into being.. it takes me back to when i was in late elementary-early jr. high school listing to my little am radio that would sit in the palm of my hand. music like the EAGLES and STEELY DAN, are really timless. if you look in the background, notice all the posters of the then really poupular musicians.. its a real precious little time-capsul that will take you back to when music wasnt gothic,or grunge. give it a try, and reminice where you were in the 70's at that time.. to bad we cant go back to some of the concerts they show. the buffet concert would have been wild!


Terribly dated
This film is so dated, it's almost difficult to watch. The great crisis here is they may sell advertising on this station to the U. S. Army! Okay, in the post-Vietnam Era, that may have seemed like a terrible moral crime. But in the post Reagan era, it just comes across as politically correct to the extreme. Still a good look at music/radio of the late 70s. If you work in broadcasting you'll enjoy looking at the older boards, cart machines, and so on. It is very funny, however, to hear this station refer to itself as playing "the non-commercial sound" of the 70s, and then hear one very commercial song after another being played, including "Baby Come Back" which is about a commerical a song as you can get. If you do enjoy the music of the 70s, there is a lot here to like. It's just that the big crisis in plot really doesn't generate sympathy. Also, the drug culture it promotes is out of place out of the 1970s.
