The "Frequency" movie from the year 2000 with Jim Caviezel as John Sullivan, who, because of a giant solar flare, can speak with his dead father, Dennis Quaid, on his dad's ham radio, is coming back from the dead itself, returning as a CW television series this fall. This time, it is a father Riley Smith speaking through radio from the dead to daughter Peyton List. When radio was first invented at the turn of the 20th Century, there was a common belief that one could speak to the dead through radio airwaves.
