Radio Retrofit took all the station breaks and song announcements from the show, combined them with the full length songs to create around 6 hours of WKRP radio. 3 hours of Johnny Fever and 3 hours of Venus Flytrap. MP3 downloads available.
Really a brilliant idea.

There are more shows, too, including two 3 hour shows with Chris on KBHR Cicely (i.e. Northern Exposure):

(I only know this from your post, so thank you. Just mentioning in case KBHR piques someone's interest more than WKRP. I loved both TV shows.)
(Wow, was not expecting "Gardening at Night".)
This is awesome! Thanks it made my day!
Huh.
I heard that they didn't license the original music for DVD, etc when the show ran, only for reruns, so that the DVDs and so on only have snippets of replacement music.
I wonder, is this replacement music, or the original tracks?
This isn't replacement music. What this project does is take parts of the show where Johnny or Venus announces the song they're about to play and then mixes in the full length song. Project mixes in other things like the DJ patter. Station breaks. Weather reports. Les reading the news. All mixed together so it sounds like six hours someone recorded off a real radio station in the late 70s / early 80s.
