WKRP was "Life Changing" to me

peejhunt

I wouldn't say that it was a religious experience, but it was a series that planted the seeds of my future. Today, I work in Radio, in part because I wanted to be Dr. Johnny Fever. I loved the way the characters worked together and played off of each other. It was a rare series.

Even today, I would like to program a station like Andy Travis, do mornings like Fever, write like Bailey, and sell like... OK, I still don't want to be like Herb. Shows like WKRP and News Radio have one thing in common, They were both written by people who know what real radio is like. I think its that touch of reality that made WKRP so memorable to me.
