Baby, if you’ve ever wondered, wondered whatever became of WKRP…well, it didn’t really exist. It was a TV show. But now it’s back, and it’s even in Cincinnati.
However, there’s a twist: this time it’s the call letters of a small TV station. WBQC-TV has changed it’s call letters to WKRP-TV. I can already sense the backlash that this move will inspire, fans of the show calling it “lame” and rival Television stations saying that they must have been “desperate” to make such a move. Personally, I think it’s a great idea. I’m not saying that they have to begin recreating episodes of the show at their station - especially not the turkey flying one - but this could give the station some buzz and identity.
Now, if they’re smart, they’ll try to run reruns of WKRP in Cincinnati on the station. Has that ever been done before, a Television station running a show that has the same name as the Television station itself?
