WKRP in Cincinnati Is Now a Real-Life Radio Station
An FM station in the Queen City has acquired the call letters made famous by the 1978-82 sitcom.

Baby, if you’ve ever wondered … whether there’s a real radio station called WKRP in Cincinnati, there is now.

A station formerly known as “The Oasis” bears the call letters made famous by the 1978-82 sitcom as of Monday. The station, 97.7 FM in the Cincinnati area, aired the WKRP theme song for six hours straight early Monday morning before the changeover became official.

The station will play classic rock and pop — music that viewers might have heard snippets of in episodes of WKRP in Cincinnati. Gary Sandy, who played program director Andy Travis on the series, recorded a series of promos for the station.

“We play essentially the same music that they played on WKRP,” station owner Jeff Ziesmann told public radio station WVXU. “It made more sense for us to do this than any other station in town.”
