"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.
