I grew up listening to bcn. So I wanted to watch about the music they played, live studio performances, comedy, djs, etc. Their politics? Meh. Not really interesting after the first 30 minutes.

Saying "not true" isn't true. Yes, Tom Donohue broke the radio rules on KSAN in San Francisco - perhaps the night he played the long version of "Light My Fire" by the Doors. But the truth is all this repressed energy in American youth burst out at about the same time (as it did in Paris, and on Radio Luxembourg, too). Who's to say just what the flashpoint was? Maybe it doesn't matter. What matters is we all caught on to how we were being oppressed socially, politically, and beaten and conscripted into subservience by the government which was supposed to preserve our freedoms. So yeah, I was bi-coastal, coming from the West Coast to the East Coast and I loved listening to Tom Donohue and his Southern California brethren at KPPC and others and once in Boston to WBCN, each and all great, earth-moving radio stations.

This doc makes the claim that fm rock radio started on wbcn in 1968 and was the brainchild of the owner of the tea party club. Nice story....not true.

Fm rock radio was started in san francisco by tom donahue in 1967. The playing of deep album cuts, less commercials and having dj's sound like regular people was in fact successful and spread to la and nyc before it got to boston.
