"WKRP in Cincinnati" is back living on the air in Cincinnati. Well, at least on Time Warner Cable and Insight. The American Life Network (Time Warner digital Channel 141, Insight digital Channel 182) has added a MTM comedy block
The sitcoms premiered last Monday with the 'KRP pilot. The "Pilot, Part 2" airs at 10 p.m. today, so they could be be running them in sequence. But these apparently are the redone DVD versions without the original music.
American Life, aimed at Baby Boomers, also airs "Combat" (6

Post a Comment*Just a note, AmericanLife TV is channel 182 with Insight Digital. It's available on the Digital Standard and Digital Choice tiers.
Thanks! I just added to the blog, so everyone can see it up top. Thanks.

Sorry - off topic but time to bash Channel 5. Courtis Fuller reported about a fire on Saturday night's newscast which, as he put it, "Left six families out in the COLD." since the temp was in the upper eighties, wouldn't the fire have left those six families out in the "HOT?" Or at minimum, out in the "NEAR BODY TEMPERATURE?"
Easy to slam courtis for that -but i bet he did not write that himself. He should have caught it when pre-reading scripts, though.
Wow - has it been, what, two weeks since John last blogged about WKRP? I'm beginning to think he has a financial stake in the DVD release.
ESPN is reporting that Dan Patrick will leave the network next month. Link: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/news/story?id=2930637
Too funny... If John had a steak in the DVD sales he'd bury the story about WKRP being run for free... Ah you guys crack me up...
I find it hilarious that a TV show (WKRP) which basically rips Cincinnati as being a podunk town, is almost used as a chamber of commerce piece by the local media. Now that's funny.
Sunday nights are worth watching AMLife. Bochco block of Hill Street Blues and St. Elsewhere, in order.
I wonder if they bought the entire MTM library?
Anon 4;40, are you stupid? It is not ripping the city of Cincinnati, it is satirizing the business that is radio broadcasting. It is about group of misfits broadcasters (of which there are truly many in this town and eleswhere), that have been packing and unpacking, town to town, up and down the dial that come together at a radio station, that happened to be located in Cincinnati.
Having worked in the business and traveled from town to town and seen stations up and down the dial in those towns, there are radio stations just like WKRP in nearly every city.
Try being informed the next time you would like to criticize the city from which you are obviously, not originally from.
Anon 4:40 may be an idiot, but have you looked at the episode descriptions on Imdb? He may have an idiotic point. The show was definitely having some fun with our fair city. And I was born and raised here. If Green Twp counts as 'Cincinnati' enough for you?
