So, folks as ancient as me who will get the reference, there's a real WKRP on the air in Cincinnati now.

Radio's most famous call letters are home for real. Radio Ink sits down exclusively with Randy Michaels and Jeff Ziesmann as WKRP the Oasis launches in Cincinnati — and finds out exactly what they have planned.

"Ziesmann: I would also add to that that one of the things about WKRP was the fact that it was hyper-local radio. Like us, they originated their own programming, they did their own news, they were just married to the market they served. And that’s also a hallmark of what we try to do."

I remember radio like that on CKSO and CHNO in Sudbury in the 1950s and 1960s.n news, they were just married to the market they served. And that’s also a hallmark of what we try to do.

Small market newspapers were the same until Postmedia (majority US-owned) hoovered them all up so we could all have the incoherent rantings of Joe Warmington & co. shoved at us...
