(KGTV) — A story that caught the eye of classic TV fans claims ‘WKRP in Cincinnati’ is finally a real radio station.

It’s true!

For those who aren't familiar, ‘WKRP in Cincinnati’ was a popular sitcom from 1978 to 1982, following the misadventures of a struggling radio station.

But it was never a real station until now.

A trio of classic rock stations is now using the WKRP call letters after getting the rights to do so by donating to a non-profit that acquired them in 2014.

The stations are located in Dayton, Northern Kentucky, and, yes, Cincinnati.
