An Op-Ed Article By The Publisher Of The Broadcasting Trade Magazine “Radio, Incorporated”, By The Name Of Deborah Parenti; Regarding The Differences Between The CBS Television Programs “WKRP In Cincinnati” And It’s Sequel “The New WKRP In Cincinnati” (Both Of Which Were Based On WQXI-AM In Atlanta), And The Axiomatical Broadcasting Industry.
For a time, WQXI-AM; the inspiration for the Television Shows “WKRP In Cincinnati” And It’s Sequel “The New WKRP In Cincinnati”, were owned by Esquire, Incorporated (the namesake and publisher of the Magazine “Esquire”), and more recently; WQXI-AM and its FM offspring WSTR-FM (nee WQXI-FM) were both owned and operated by Jefferson-Pilot, and subsequently; by Lincoln Financial, after Jefferson-Pilot was absorbed into Lincoln Financial, but before Lincoln Financial decided to exit the Broadcasting Industry, and sell all of their Radio and Television Stations beginning in 2006, and ending in 2014; with WQXI-AM, and WSTR-FM (nee WQXI-FM) being the very last broadcasting properties to be owned and operated by Lincoln Financial.
