Movie Trivia/Goofs

SPOILER: During the movie, after the character of Chuck Akers dies mid-broadcast, the Keillor character refuses to stage an on-air tribute to him or even to announce the death on the air on general principle. The real Keillor does not share any such compunction against paying tribute to departed friends and colleagues on his actual radio show, as he spent a portion of the November 25, 2006, broadcast of "A Prairie Home Companion" memorializing director Robert Altman.
Meryl Streep accepted her role "in a heartbeat" as it had always been her lifetime's ambition to make a film with Robert Altman.
Was originally going to be titled 'The Last Broadcast'.
The "4-5-94" written on Lola's right jean leg is a reference to the date of Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain's suicide.
