"WKRP in Cincinnati was a beloved sitcom that ran from 1978 to 1982 about the wacky DJs and staff of a top-40 rock 'n' roll station. It starred Richard Sanders, Tim Reid, Gordon Jump, Howard Hesseman, and Loni Anderson across its 90 episodes."
"We play essentially the same music that they played on WKRP. It made more sense for us to do this than any other station in town."
"The newly rebranded WKRP in Cincinnati didn't settle for a simple name change. On Monday morning, the station marked the switch by airing the WKRP in Cincinnati theme song for six straight hours."
"This is the first station in Cincinnati to make the change, adding to its credibility with the tagline 'Bang!' which became the unofficial mantra of Dustin Hoffman's Rain Man character."
