NewsRadio

NewsRadio is currently streaming in the US on Amazon Prime Video, and it delivers exactly the kind of comedy that earns a loyal following. Across 5 seasons, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. Its 7/10 TMDB score, built from 138 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Dave Foley's performance alone is worth the time investment. Available now on Amazon Prime Video — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

NewsRadio arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. NewsRadio gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. The office politics and interpersonal relationships among the staff of WNYX NewsRadio, New York's #2 news radio station. The chemistry Dave Foley and Maura Tierney bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. 5 seasons (1995–1999) gave the story room most shows never get. NewsRadio earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

NewsRadio is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. WKRP in Cincinnati is the obvious comparison, but NewsRadio earns its own place alongside it. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Dave Foley is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.

NewsRadio wrapped up in 1999, created by Paul Simms — and 5 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
