AIRPLAY: THE RISE AND FALL OF ROCK RADIO documents the history of rock radio - from the AM deejays to the FM pioneers who fanned the flames of the '60s, to the silencing of rock radio by the government and big-business interests, to its promise of rebirth on satellite radio. AIRPLAY shares the story of the 50-year struggle for the soul of music radio, told by the deejays and the artists they made stars. Musicians include: Crosby, Stills and Nash, Grace Slick, Little Steven Van Zandt, Bob Weir and Ray Manzarek (The Doors). In addition, legendary disc jockeys talk about the hits and the history they made together through interviews, archival footage and airchecks, some never seen or heard on television before.

Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who couldn't hear the music.

Thanks for posting this, I probably would have missed it otherwise.
From 2008, the documentary won a number of awards and mentions at various film festivals that year.
