Midnight Caller : Was there a real life Jack Killian?
Re: Was there a real life Jack Killian?
There was a TV movie based on a true life story of a talk radio DJ who stood up for what was right and was murdered. I think he was Jewish, and racism or anti-semitism may have been the cause of the conflict, which obviously wasn't the case with Jack, but this other guy was portrayed as similarly wanting to do the right thing. I can't remember his name, I'm sorry, but it was quite high profile.

The real life guy that was murdered was Alan Berg, a talk radio host in Denver who was also an attorney. Parts of Oliver Stone's Talk Radio were based on him.

Jack Killian kind of reminds me of Don Imus in the 80s when he was an alcoholic with a turbulent private life. But Imus was never a cop.
