Show Notes
WKRP, the iconic radio station from the beloved sitcom, is returning to the airwaves in Cincinnati after 48 years. D.P. McIntire, the current owner, has secured a deal with a local radio station, though details are under wraps due to contractual obligations. McIntire, a lifelong radio enthusiast, revived WKRP as a low-power FM station in Raleigh, North Carolina, in 2015, broadcasting a mix of eighties, seventies, and nineties music to a small radius. The auction for the call letters, which are valued due to their association with the shows quirky characters, will benefit McIntires new venture, Independent Broadcast Consultants, aiming to support new broadcasters. The winner of the radio side of the auction will inherit the legacy of WKRP, with the hope that theyll maintain the stations heartfelt, irreverent spirit.
