The show's creator, Hugh Wilson, wrote the premise based on personal experiences at WQXI in Atlanta.

WKRC is the originating station for two weekly Premiere Networks shows: At Home with Gary Sullivan and In the Garden with Ron Wilson.

[7] (An earlier WMH, which was Cincinnati's first broadcasting station, had been operated by the Precision Equipment Company until January 1923.)

[13] The FM station used its own call sign at first, WCTS, which stood for Cincinnati Times-Star.

On November 29, 1992, after Jacor acquired the station via a local marketing agreement (LMA), WKRC began stunting with a computerized countdown.

[16] A week later, WKRC debuted a new talk radio format with the call letters WLWA, as a complementary service to WLW.

The station began offering a schedule of local and national talk programs, some of them from Westwood One.

In 1999, Clear Channel Communications, the forerunner of current owner iHeartMedia, acquired Jacor Broadcasting, including WKRC.
