Stay tuned Cincinnati: WKRP is coming to town for real, North Carolina station's director says - AP News
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Hold on to those Thanksgiving turkeys! WKRP is coming to Cincinnati — for real this time.
“I cannot, by contract, tell you when. I cannot tell you who. But I can tell you, direct to the camera, WKRP, after 48 years, is coming to Cincinnati,” D.P. McIntire, who runs the media nonprofit that is auctioning the famous call letters, told The Associated Press. “Book it! It’s done!”
The call sign was made famous by “WKRP in Cincinnati,” a CBS television sitcom that ran from 1978 to 1982. It made stars of actors like Loni Anderson and Richard Sanders, whose bumbling newsman Les Nessman reported on a Thanksgiving promotion gone bad when live but flightless turkeys were dropped from a helicopter.

It's very appropriate that they'll be playing what WKRP played in the TV series...

Doesn't help me as I'm not in Cincinnati but it is kind of a cool thing to do.

I vaguely recall that show!
From what I hear seeing it now is flawed, they don't have/won't pay for song rights so the sound track is all generic BGM instead of the actual artists.
Same thing happened to the U2 Angelina Jolie Tomb Raider film, they finally get to the one good action scene and... instead of U2's Escalation we get generic rights free BGM.
