The classic TV show WKRP in Cincinnati from 1978 to 1982 is about to hit the real airwaves in that very city. Those iconic call letters used on 101.9 WKRP LP in Raleigh, North Carolina since 2015 just got sold off in February to a mystery buyer right in Cincinnati. Here this week, DP McIntyre, who runs the media nonprofit handling the auction, spilled the beans to the associated press. He said straight up, after 48 years, WKRP is coming to Cincinnati Bookhead. It's done. But by contract he can't drop the win or the who, just yet. McIntyre's got a personal connection. He watched the pilot episode as a kid with his family and jumped up afterward, declaring he'd get into radio and run a station called WKRP someday.

1:00Fans are buzzing about this nod to the show's chaotic crew and hit music vibes. Details are locked down for legal reasons, but McIntyre confirmed it'll be a legit radio operation.
