Classic TV Show ‘WKRP’ May Finally Get Real Cincinnati Radio Station

Almost five decades after a beloved television comedy put the call letters on the map, Cincinnati could soon welcome an actual radio station bearing the WKRP name.

The iconic designation became a household name through the popular late 1970s sitcom that followed the misadventures of a struggling rock station’s staff in Ohio. Now, the fictional broadcast facility that entertained audiences for four seasons may transition from television fantasy to radio reality in the very city where the show took place.
