Storyline
An acerbic radio talk show host based in Dallas starts what could be an important few days when he discovers that his controversial late night show is about to be "picked up" by a nationwide network of radio stations. However, all is not perfect for him, because on top of troubles with his love life and fears that the management of the network will try to alter the content of his show he has to cope with a neo-nazi group who have been angered by his forthright opinions.

Revealing mistakes: When Barry Champlain says that he's going to punish his listeners by playing the Bee Gee's song - Saturday Night Fever, ten times in a row. The record they actually play is Disco Inferno by The Tramps. This may be intentional due to copyright issues however the track is on the OST for Saturday Night Fever. See more »Quotes
Barry: [to a caller about the most powerful drug ever sold] It's tobacco. It kills 350,000 people a year. You know how much coke, crack, heroin, pot kill every year? Four thousand people. Will you listen to sense? Hello? Let me check. Will you listen to logic, please? The only people who benefit from prohibition... are the gangsters makin' the money on it, the politicians condemning it and gettin' your vote. And who foots the bill? You, Rhonda Q Sucker!See more »
