Great News for WKRP fans! Read this e-mail I got from WGN America.


You’ll be happy to know that we will do occasional weekly tributes and flashbacks to old shows. Sunday nights prime time will be dedicated to three classics –

Thanks for watching and make sure you tell everyone to check us out for Sunday night retro full time starting June 8th.

Even though I don't get WGN, I think friends in Ohio do so I'll check with them.

What number is wgn, never heard of it ...

You have to check your local cable listings. Check your cable provider's channel listings or an online listing such as TitanTV.com

Hopefully this will return WGN back to it's glory days of the 1980s.
A lot of Cable companies around her dropped WGN about 10 years ago.

I hope it will, too - especially since Nick and TV Land have sold out. :mad:

I know!! The one channel that looked kinda cool was American Life, and I don't get that!

Nice to see it looked like at least some of the music wasnt replaced, if not all.

Yes, that is a VERY good sign.

So there was some music that WASN'T MCM'ed (Music Clearance Monster'ed)? Well it is easier, it seems, to use mainstream music when it's on TV and not DVD. But WKRP seemed to have more problems than other shows (pretty much all of it was replaced on N@N, no?)

And this wasn't simply an older print, I am guessing, because this one had the MTM and Fox logos (another good sign, as News Corp has firmly learned its lesson and doesn't seem to replace Mimsie the cat anymore)

Glad to know Mimsie the MTM kitty is still around, too. :cat:
