Switching Channels is a 1988 comedic movie remake of The Front Page (also more famously remade as His Girl Friday in 1940). The film was not commercially successful, and temporarily derailed the career of actor Christopher Reeve.
The film stars Kathleen Turner as Christy Colleran, Burt Reynolds as John L. Sullivan IV, Christopher Reeve as Blaine Bingham, Ned Beatty as Henry Gibson, and George Newbern as Al Waxman.
Synopsis
Sullivan the cable TV news mogul tries to break up the impending marriage of Colleran, his best reporter (and also ex-wife), in order to keep her on the job during the critical news coverage of a near-miss execution and prison break.
