WKRP In Cincinnati Music Update

15 Sep 2014
WKRP In Cincinnati Music Update

Since Shout! Factory first announced that we would be releasing the WKRP In Cincinnati: The Complete Series on DVD, speculation about how much original music we’d be able to clear has been rampant. And understandably so — in WKRP, music is almost a character itself, and an essential aspect of what makes it one of the best-loved shows of all time. Unfortunately, WKRP was created at a time when DVDs were barely a glimmer on the horizon, so the music was not pre-licensed for home entertainment use. The enormous challenges in going back to clear classic songs has been the main reason why the complete series has not been issued on DVD until now.

As fans of the show ourselves, we tried our best to clear all the songs that made it memorable, but in a few cases, it was simply impossible to get the rights. We were able to include the vast majority of the music, though, with the aim of presenting the best possible release of WKRP on DVD. We believe that we’ve kept the integrity — and the spirit — of the show as intact as anyone could have. We hope you agree.
