WKRQ

Encyclopedia : W : WK : WKR : WKRQ

WKRQ is a radio station located in the Cincinnati, Ohio area and broadcasts at 101.9 FM. Its transmitter is located in Cincinnati. It carries a Top Forty format and is owned by CBS Radio.

In 1978, Mary Wood won the first one-million-dollar prize ever awarded by any radio or TV station in the United States. The feat landed her and the station in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Because the call letters (and rock format) are similar, some have wondered if the show WKRP in Cincinnati is based on anything that happened at WKRQ. Creator Hugh Wilson has said that most of the episodes are based on his real-life experiences at an Atlanta radio station, but he has never said whether the call letters were based on WKRQ's.
