  1. I used to watch that show when I was little and loved it. Later when I met people from Cincinnati I was dismayed to find that the station was entirely fictional. I mean, having that call sign is marketing gold!

  2. I grew up in range of KYW in Philadelphia, 1060 kHz AM. When I pass through the area I will still tune in to get news and weather, etc., and the station ID is kind of nostalgic. Back in the 70s and 80s they used to constantly broadcast the sound of a teletype machine in the background during news segments, so it always sounded like they were getting news fresh off the wire. It was a gimmick, but it was cool. I don't think they do that anymore, especially since no one knows what a teletype machine is these days. I'm also glad you mentioned TV stations. We don't think of them as "radio stations", but of course TV is just a fancy form of radio communication.

  4. The mental image of a KRAP transmitter about to fall down a sinkhole makes this even funnier.

  5. Somehow I pictured Gene Simmons buying the station and broadcasting only Kiss tunes 24/7.
