There was a WKRP-AM in Atlanta for a short time in the 70's, designed
specifically to cash in on the TV show's popularity. The stars of the
show were invited to appear on the station's first day of broadcasting
but none showed. The FCC denied the calls until someone pointed out
that MTM Productions was not an actual licensee.
The first record played on the new station came up at the wrong speed.
Potential advertisers thought it was a joke. It was a daytime- only
station with all sorts of signal problems. As I recall, it lasted less
than a year.

There was an urban-formatted WRAP in Virginia some years back. Makes me
wonder if there was a KRAP somewhere out west.

Not currently on the FCC lists, but a sort of related call with a history of
its own is. There's a WKRP-LP (TV) licensed to Washington DC. W-KRaP?
Wonder if the TV show producers saw it that way. Why anyone with a real
station would WANT those calls is also a different matter.



Who has KCUF?
