WKRP in Cincinnati ... For Real This Time
Sunday, November 30, 2008
A Cincinnati radio station has retro fever, renaming itself after the old sitcom's fictional station WKRP. What would Les Nessman say about that?
CINCINNATI — WKRP is back on the air in Cincinnati — but this time it's for real.
A low-power TV station has changed its call letters to WKRP, the same as the fictional radio station in the 1970s hit series "WKRP in Cincinnati."
The station changed its call letters to promote its new digital TV signal. It formerly went by WBQC-TV.
General Manager Elliott Block says the new call letters give the station recognition because so many people remember the television sit-com.
