In the Tom hanks movie, "That Thing You Do!", written and directed by 
Hanks while he was between major assignments, there were two radio 
stations which the group, the Oneders (Wonders, spelled a little 
differently), visited.

The second was largely based on KGFJ in its jazz days, but had a white DJ 
... Ron Howard's ubiquitous brother, Clint.

The first was clearly identified as "KMPC Los Angeles", and the most 
amusing part was the time on the (analog) wall clock in the studio was 
7:10 am.

Talk about an in-joke.
