Ah, growing up I used to LOVE watching WKRP in Cincinnati. The TV show about the radio DJs (based on the movie FM) I am so freaking old. I even tried to get into radio thinking it was going to be just like that with Dr Johnny Fever, Venus Flytrap, and even newsman Les Nesman! AND I WAS RIGHT! Everyone working on the air was a LOON!
What were we talking about? oh yeah.
So there’s a local cable TV station in Cincinnati that now owns the rights to WKRP!
“When I call someone out-of-town and say we’re a TV station in Cincinnati, the response usually is, ‘WKRP in Cincinnati?’ This gives us recognition,” says Elliott Block, general manager and chief engineer for WKRP and sister low-power WOTH-TV (Channel 25).
His Block Broadcasting started the low-power station in 1990 as W25AI-TV. He changed to WBQC-TV when it became the local WB network affiliate. The WB ceased operation last year.
I think it’s a great idea. where else can you really get away with those call letters? And everyone knows who you are!
