Description:
WLIR, a small radio station in suburban Long Island, NY, played a pivotal role in bringing New Wave music to America. In August 1982, the station's team of radio innovators defied industry norms, challenging major New York City stations. Program Director Denis McNamara and the WLIR crew fought against the FCC, record labels, and established radio practices to champion groundbreaking artists like U2, Talking Heads, and The Cure. This is their story of creating a musical movement that transformed the sound of American radio.
