Cincinnati also has a very popular rock/pop station called WKRQ (aka Q102) which was on the air during the show. As it is one letter away from WKRP in the alphabet, there has been speculation that it was the source of the name.

In the early 1980s, a station in Salt Lake City briefly identified themselves on-air as "WKRP in Salt Lake City". Their actual call letters were KRPN, so they were really saying "(W)KRPN, Salt Lake City".
