    Radio Retrofit took all the station breaks and song announcements from the show, combined them with the full length songs to create around 6 hours of WKRP radio. 3 hours of Johnny Fever and 3 hours of Venus Flytrap. MP3 downloads available.Really a brilliant idea.Johnny: https://www.awphooey.com/wkrpVenus: https://www.awphooey.com/venus

    We also need Station H.A.P.P.Y. Radio

    It's a bummer that the show will never play with original music on some streaming service due to (as I understand it) music licensing problems.

    This is wonderful. I grew up watching WKRP and wanted to be Doctor Johnny Fever when I grew up. Managed to work in radio for a few years part-time, but by then DJing was “here’s a program sheet. Play these songs, exactly” - not the dream of being a DJ doing their own programming. I also realized why Johnny was always broke.Still, very cool, and a little jealous of the on-air staff that get to work there.

    Shout out to Bailey Quarters. I'm still waiting for your call.

    Will Les Nessman be in his "office"?

    That's funny, especially since the callsign was part of the humor of the show.

    Man, a bygone era where TV theme songs were an art in itself.

    I think I'm getting this show mixed up with another. I thought that Phil Hartman was in it but looking at the wiki page he's not listed... ah, Phil Hartman was in News Radio. WKRP was almost 20 years earlier. Everyone that watched it is probably dead or in a nursing home.
