The New WKRP in Cincinnati was a sequel/spin-off of the original CBS sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati. It was made for the syndication market in 19911993.

Gordon Jump, Richard Sanders and Frank Bonner were part of the cast, reprising their roles from the original show. Loni Anderson, Howard Hesseman and Tim Reid each made guest appearances. Jan Smithers and Gary Sandy were the only members of the original WKRP cast who did not appear on this show.

One episode involved an obese, egomaniacal talk show host named "Lash Rambo", a parody of Rush Limbaugh. French Stewart appeared in the final season as shock jock Razor D.

The actual AM channel location of WKRP was never revealed in the original series. In this version, the station is identified as being at AM 1530, the actual home of WSAI, (now WCKY) also licensed to Cincinnati. For a time, this real-life station boasted the call letters WKRC.
