Not a movie, but I wish I could find a clip of the Saturday Night Live sketch where Harry Shearer was the sole DJ for a laid back FM and hyper-manic AM rock station.

Never actually seen this - think it's p heavily indebted to Wenders - but it does have radio in the title and one of the characters is a DJ:

DJ's are key characters in Play Misty for Me and Vanishing Point, but I don't think you can say either station was a rock station.
