Anyone remember a sitcom which I think involved a family who lived in a home that was also connected to a radio station or they had the radio station upstairs? (Could have been a TV station) I vaguely remember this one from when I was younger. Maybe late 70's or early 80's?

Anyone even remember a show like this?

Thanks.

I'm guessing that you're talking about "Please Stand By", a syndicated sitcom from 1978.

Thanks TV Guy.

That might be it, but there is not much info on that site and I couldn't find anything else with an internet search.

This one has been bothering me for a long time.

Have you ever seen it? Do you have any more information on it?
