WKRP in Cincinnati: soundbites...

   STLMedia friend Jay Philpott has one of the most amazing collections of radio-related MP3's (airchecks, jingles, drops, etc.) I'm aware of, even organized on a lengthy spreadsheet.

   Recently Jay's begun sharing tracks from his 90-episode collection of the classic tv show, WKRP in Cincinnati. We'll be presenting them here, as Jay excerpts the audio.

   As Jay points out, the prescience of the show's writing is almost frightening, especially so when you realize that the show aired between 1978 and 1982.
