WKRP Description:
The Cincinnati radio station - WKRP - is in financial trouble and the station manager thinks he
knows how to turn things around. The new DJs that he brings in are not quite what the station
owner is used to dealing with however! With names like Johnny Fever and Venus Flytrap ...
well, you get the idea. The station's news reporter keeps trying to do Hog Reports instead of
the news that the audience wants to hear. Even the station manager is a bit "flaky" as he has
to get his mother's permission for everything or risk incurring her wrath! Put it all together
and you get a total "madhouse" and a pretty enjoyable viewing experience.

WKRP Trivia:
WKRP was suppossedly at 1530 on the AM dial and the station's mascot was a Carp (fish).
There was no real radio station in Cincinnati with the call letters WKRP but, after the show began, a station in Georgia applied for those letters and got them. The producers of the tv show wanted to sue but the FCC said that only a legitimate radio station can own the rights to call letters. By the way, there was a "WKRC" in Cincinnati before the show started.
Several times during the show a character would talk about "Mayor Springer." Today, we know his as "Jerry Springer" the talk-show host. Yes, he was actually the mayor of Cincinnati at that time!
Loni Anderson was the 1st runner-up in the 1964 Miss Minnesota contest.
In the pilot episode, it's stated that WKRP is a 50,000 watt station. In the rest of the series, it's referred to as a 5,000 watt station.
Doctor Johnny Fever had been fired from a job in Los Angeles for saying the word "Booger" on the air.
The tv show was nominated for 2 Emmys and 3 Golden Globes, all for Loni Anderson as Best Actress. Unfortunately, she didn't win any of them.
