April 28, 1978 –
John A. Alonzo’s film about a radio station with a motley collection of DJs, FM, starring Michael Brandon, Eileen Brennan, Alex Karras, Cleavon Little, Martin Mull and Cassie Yates went into general release in the US on this date. The film is often believed to be the inspiration for the sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati, but in fact the pilot for that sitcom was filmed before this film’s release.
The theme song from the movie, Steely Dan’s FM (No Static at All) won engineers Al Schmitt and Roger Nichols the 1979 Grammy Award for Best Engineered Recording.
