It broke from Top 40 radio to create its own format that featured Punk, Post-Punk, New Wave, Reggae and Ska. It broke dozens of British bands in the U.S. by having a direct tie to UK labels and got all their promotional releases. The film follows a traditional approach with talking head interviews interspersed with tons of 80s music videos. Those brought back a lot of nostalgia because I used to listen to a lot of that music and watched all those videos as a teen. A lot of the stories are also interesting and funny especially about how rag tag an operation WLIR was. If you’re an 80s kid this will definitely be right up your alley. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A definite must see for any music fan who is into music history of differnet eras *by C***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 15, 2018* I grew up with WLIR up in Norwalk, CT. I was 11 when it came on the air. I have been with the station when it was WLIR, then WDRE, and back to WLIR, where it finally signed off terrestrial radio in 2004. It is now located at wlir.fm. I love this station. Best of all-time as far as I'm concerned.This documentary was extremely well done. It really caught the spirit of what was happening at that time in the early-80s with the flood of all those great New Wave, Post-Punk, and Techno Pop (what electronic music was called back then, i.e. Kraftwerk, Depeche) bands.My friends and I would have loved to have been in England at the time, and who would of thought – Long Island as well, with everything going on in the clubs and after-shows. The influence this station had on the music and also my life was tremendous. There's not enough thanks. Loved calling in and listening to 'Screamer of the Week'., listening to "Rock Over London" on Sunday Mornings, and other shows Sunday evening.Anyone who is a music fan and loves eras of music history will totally enjoy this film. Denis McNamara and all who worked at WLIR are true radio/music legends. This, sadly, will most likely never happen again, due to corporate structure and bankrupt iHeart Radio garbage practices. The station not only played singles, but 12" mixes, album tracks, b-sides, and imports not available in the US and even months before availability. They even had exclusive tracks, like when they were the only station to play "Personal Jesus (acoustic)" by Depeche Mode months before it's official studio release. Where else could you hear Thrashing Doves, Flesh for Lulu, Cetu Javu, Secession, and Comsat Angels?I could go on and on and talk about this station with stories for hours. This documentary by Ellen Goldfarb gives you a glimpse into and even a bit of what it was like to experience WLIR. The fan and artist interviews really nail this home.Never had a problem with the signal from across Long Island Sound though :D ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great documentary *by W***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 22, 2022* This is an outstanding documentary if you grew up listening to WLIR on Long Island, NY in the 80's!
