Probably a little of both, really.

Again, could be just a rumor or speculation, but we'll never know what a fifth season of WKRP would have brought.

Here's Hugh Wilson talking about the cancellation. He doesn't bring that up:

I saw that clip a few days ago.

Like I said, I remember reading it somewhere. And memories can be faulty. But CBS had to be burned, knowing they ruined what could have been a longer run.
