On this date back in 1978 the first episode of "WKRP In Cincinnati" aired on CBS. My interest in radio is tied directly to watching it as a kid after it went into syndication in the 1980s. I loved everything about WKRP from the oddball characters to the rock posters plastered everywhere and the radio stickers in Andy's office.
This sticker was apparently a promotional item for
The New WKRP In Cincinnati which ran in syndication from 1991-1993. Many of the characters reprised their roles but the show just wasn't as good as the original.
WKRP's frequency was never revealed on the original series but
The New WKRP In Cincinnati placed the station at 1530 AM
(which is the home of real life Cincy station
WCKY.)
This sticker is from KRPN, an 80s-era Oldies station in Salt Lake City, Utah. Their top-of-the-hour legal ID actually read "W KRPN Salt Lake City" which purposefully sounded like "WKRP in Salt Lake City." Brilliant!
"106.7 The Fan" WNFN was a Sports Talk station licensed to Belle Meade, Tennessee from 2004 to 2009. The frequency is currently home to the Top-40 station "i106" now licensed to Millersville, TN.
KFNZ "1320 AM KFAN" is a Sports station in Salt Lake City, Utah (as some bozo idiotically wrote on the front of the above sticker.)
WDUZ "107.5 The Fan" is a --you guessed it-- Sports station licensed to Brillion, Wisconsin. They also broadcast at 1400 AM licensed to Green Bay, WI.
