Available now wherever you stream or rent movies is the new documentary Runaway Radio. This is a fascinating look at the radio business of the 70s and 80s, a wild west time period where big personalities and big promotional budgets were the norm. And there is no better microcosm of radio in the 70s and 80s than Houston, Texas, home to the legendary station, KLOL, an outlaw station that slowly went mainstream but not before it became an iconic part of the Houston community. Through remarkable archive footage and interviews with the people who were part of the history as it was made, director Mike McGuff has opened a time capsule of the 70s and 80s unlike any other. Mike McGuff talked about Runaway Radio with Wake Up Tri-Counties last week.
