Supposedly it's out on VHS tape but it's said to be edited in that the original music (such as the great music Johnny fever played) is replaced by generic music instead...

It's claimed the series can't be released on DVD as orignianlly aired due to the music rights fees due on the disks http://www.wired.com/news/digiwood/0,1412,66696,00.html?tw=wn_story_related

BUT found a website selling DVDs of the shows

And for those needing some fixesand trivia on radio's most favorite TV show try:

It was on Nick At Nite a couple of years ago, and almost all the music was replaced. It was really horrible.

Here's a clean audio clip of the entire "Turkey Drop"

http://radio.about.com/library/wkrpturkeydrop.ram

Enjoy!
 
I have every WKRP

I have every episode of WKRP on DVD's. Email me at [email protected] if you want to trade something for my set and maybe let me know what you've got.

I'm especially looking for syndicated radio shows on original LPs/CDs.
