WKRP to air on Antenna TV
- Thread starter MarcB
- Start date
Some episodes of the New WKRP have found their way onto You TUBE. I wish there were more.
My favorite episode was the episode where the late night Jock died and they had a funeral service for him. He considered the WKRP staff to be his family since he had very few friends and family outside of work. the only problem was nobody at WKRP really knew the man since he worked at night. Someone mentioned bumping into him in the hall once. He requested that his ashes to be sprinkled over a body of water. The show ended with Johnny attempting to deliver a eulogy for someone he barely knew and dumping his ashes onto dry ground since a drought had dried up the river.

If you were in the Toronto (Toronto Canada) you would have been a somebody more than you know.
If I recall correctly, the original video masters from the series were supposedly destroyed to prevent the fully intact music from being aired. The 1990 syndication masters, the ones aired on TV Bland ... oops, Land that is, were only partially edited. Around the time they mastered the DVD set of Season 1 is when they supposedly edited the entire series again eliminating more music and replacing even more dialog with sound-alike actors.
Face it, we'll never see the original series again unless you were fortunate enough to tape it first run.

Toronto was one of my dream markets. However, being a kid from Jersey I never expected to be allowed anywhere near the domain of the CRTC.
However, I always loved the overnight shift. The callers were so interesting, the mood was laid back, and you had a slight bit more freedom to play what you wanted. Sadly, automation killed overnights in the early days of deregulation before satellite delivery and voicetracking killed all the other shifts.

Me too, though for most of the overnight I was a board operator playing talk shows from satellite.
For five days a week I got from one to two hours of DJ time (KAZM 1995-1996). And, believe it or not, my parents told me about people who spoke to them and told them they listened to me at 4am. Made me
!Given the number of daytime-only AMs, and even the number of stations with a nighttime signal that went off the air at midnight or earlier, isn't that kind of an exaggeration?Pab Sungenis said:
No original music. BTW, FOX 61 in Hartford screwed up episodes 2, 3, and 4.They were about to show the opening theme on those 3 episodes when it was cut off after half a second and instead went into commercials. Episodes 2 and 4 commercial for Colonial Penn Life Insurance. And Episode 3 something called Blue Tax.
