One of the better American ensemble-sitcoms, WKRP In Cincinnati depicted the daily working lives of the personnel at what, at first, was a tranquil Ohio AM radio station, ineffectively managed by Arthur Carlson and owned by his domineering mother Lillian.

Unable to leave a good idea alone, WKRP In Cincinnati was unwisely revived in 1991 with a bunch of consistently poor new episodes that went into what the Americans call 'first-run syndication' - that is, they were screened by independent stations, not the network-owned ones.

 WKRP In Cincinnati
WKRP, a Cincinnati radio station that had been losing money for years by playing sedate music, saw sudden and dramatic changes with the arrival of new program director, Andy Travis.
The staff of WKRP was full of offbeat characters which included: Les Nessman, the naive, gullible and pompous news director whose only conern was his farm reports and Bailey Quarters, Andy's enthusiastic young assistant, who took care of the billing, handled traffic and was eventually added as a backup news reporter working with Les.
The two WKRP disc jockeys seen regularly were morning dj Dr. Johnny Fever, a jive-talking type who seemed constantly spaced out and night dj Venus Flytrap, a hip fl guy who had worked with Andy at other stations.

If you've watched "WKRP In Cincinnati" on the Comedy Network in Canada, or on TNN in the United States, or on the commercial videotapes released in 1998, then you may have noticed that some of the music has been changed.
WKRP was produced by MTM Enterprises, but in the mid-'90s MTM was bought out by Pat Robertson's International Family Entertainment (which also owned the Family Channel in the U.S.), and then in 1997 International Family Entertainment was bought by 20th Century-Fox.
The reason WKRP was shot on videotape (unlike the other MTM sitcoms like "Bob Newhart" and "Mary Tyler Moore," which were on film) was that it was the only way they could afford to use a lot of real rock songs on the show.
