'Frequency' Set to Be Adapted for TV
The Hollywood Reporter says NBC has signed on for a pilot of
an adaptation of the 2000 Dennis Quaid movie, "Frequency," as a
possible new series. Many hams will recall this movie, since it was built
around the stars' use of ham radio to do something most of us cannot -- talk
across time. There was no timetable given for possible airing, or any
indication of whether any of the movie's cast members might return for a TV version.
If "Frequency" does get the green light to become
a series, it would be the second current prime-time series to feature amateur
radio, along with the occasional but much more realistic portrayals of the
hobby on ABC's "Last Man Standing."
