I think I'm getting this show mixed up with another. I thought that Phil Hartman was in it but looking at the wiki page he's not listed... ah, Phil Hartman was in News Radio. WKRP was almost 20 years earlier. Everyone that watched it is probably dead or in a nursing home.
The last episode of WKRP was 44 years ago. What age do you believe people die or go into a nursing home?
Reruns were on for a long time after that. I remember the show fondly even though I was 8 when it ended.
I saw it in passing as a kid. It was clearly for adults, so by now, yes most are either in nursing homes or at least senior living communities.
I was a pre-teen when it came out and I loved it. We all used to watch it as a family.
Thanks for the chuckle. But a lot of us are hanging on for dear life, and still living independently.
There was also two seasons of 'the new wkrp' from ten years after the old one. I don't follow the show (either version), so I don't know if the new seasons are any good; or the old ones really, but there'a a following, obviously.
I watched it. I am not dead, in a nursing home, nor retired.
I watched and (apprently!) still know the entire theme song, which is wild because they stopped making new episodes when I was a toddler. Must have been in reruns; I wonder if it was that after school / pre-dinner time slice when we watched Happy Days and 321 Contact?

Um. I grew up watching WKRP. I’m in my mid-50s.
One of the actors of the show recorded promos for the station, so guess not.
The fact that someone posted a link to the article that you probably didn’t read also refutes this premise.
