Kick Out the Jams: The Story of XFM

Kick Out the Jams is a documentary that traces the history of XFM from its roots as a rebellious pirate radio station in the early 1990s to its official launch as an FM radio station in 1997 as a major platform for launching alternative talent into the mainstream. The documentary takes its name from the first song that was ever broadcast on the station's airwaves. The documentary takes an in-depth look at the challenges faced by the radio station as well as the impact it had on the likes of Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant. Both of these comedians initially developed their now-famous television shows, The Office and The Ricky Gervais Show, while they were employed at the radio station.
