In August 1982, a small group of visionaries at the WLIR radio station knew they couldn't compete with the mega-stations in NYC. The crew and biggest artists of the era tell the story of how they battled the FCC and the record labels in New Wave: Dare to be Different, which premieres March 30. U2, Talking Heads, Depeche Mode, Blondie, Duran Duran, Tears for Fears, The Clash, The Cure – over half a billion records sold, but you might have never heard of them if not for a small suburban radio station on Long Island, NY called WLIR 92.7. NEW WAVE: DARE TO BE DIFFERENT, premiering on SHOWTIME on Friday, March 30 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on-air, on demand and over the internet, is a nostalgic look back at the rogue radio station on the cutting edge of music throughout the 1980s.
