THE ROCKUMENTARY&#8221; which reports on the historical evolution of Chicago area rock radio stations, and their music programming changes from the 1970s into the 21st century. A fast-paced educational timeline of Windy City AM &amp; FM broadcast radio formats, which saw a shift in targeting demographics based upon age, and various niches of the rock music genre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The documentary focuses on the elimination of &#8220;hard edged&#8221; rock music from corporate owned radio station playlists, which opened the door for niche heavy metal programmed outlets. Chicago area radio stations such as &#8220;The Loop&#8221;, &#8220;Z-Rock&#8221;, and its spinoff &#8220;G-Force 1330&#8221; are featured. The film also follows the influence of popular radio personalities tied to these broadcast outlets, such as Steve Dahl, Wild Bill Scott, and Mancow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>News stories which covered the moves of the Chicago radio industry, cover the rise and fall of many of these stations in this film. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Featuring interviews from local Chicago rock radio observers: Patrick Capone, Scott Davidson, Rockin&#8217; Ron Simon, Alex Zander, and Madd Maxx Hammer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Narrated by: Jason Lee Tipton Executive Producer: Guy Giuliano Co-Producers: Glenn Stefano and Jason Lee Tipton \u00a0 \u00a9 2022 DSN, All Rights Reserved. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/hashtag\/documentary\">#documentary<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/hashtag\/chicagoradio\">#chicagoradio<\/a> *Video is for educational purposes only, and are is accordance with the Internet Fair Use Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe title=\"&quot;Static!&quot; (The Rockumentary)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eqQHfoVpOLs?start=132&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DSN Music Presents &#8220;STATIC!
