Talking of talk radio, ...what?...we weren't talking about talk radio?
Have you all seen the movie called "Talk Radio" in the 80's? It was a Shock Jock whose audience sent him dead rats and KKK flags. He was killed in the end by a deranged listener.
It may have been based on Howard Stern because that was the type of radio host he was.
It had a great song at the beginning that was made up of dial tones. And the movie was set in an awesome studio. It was also on the FM dial I think.

Stewart Copeland, the drummer for The Police, did the soundtrack to Talk Radio. So the tune is most likely his. I became interested in his work when my youngest son played Spyro the Dragon games and I became hooked on the catchy music. It turned out to be Copeland's work. Just run his name across Google and you'll find that he's done quite a bit.

See: www.wfmu.org/LCD/GreatDJ/berg.htmlHere's a snippit: On June 18, 1984, radio talk-show host Alan Berg was machine-gunned into infamy in the driveway of his suburban Denver townhouse. Berg, whose life and violent death inspired Eric Bogosian's play (and Oliver Stone's ham-fisted movie) Talk Radio, was verging on national prominence, having recently been profiled on 60 Minutes and selected by his employer, KOA-AM, to cover the Democratic National Convention in San Francisco.
