Almost 50 years after the premiere of the WKRP sitcom, a Cincinnati radio station has acquired the call letters and has rebranded “The Oasis” nostalgic rock music format as “WKRP in Cincinnati.”
The familiar voice of WKRP in Cincinnati star Gary Sandy welcomed listeners to the new WKRP in Cincinnati on the radio at 6 a.m. Monday, as “The Oasis” 1970s rock music stations brought the beloved call letters to the Queen City airwaves for the first time.
“We play essentially the same music that they played on WKRP. It made more sense for us to do this than any other station in town,” says Jeff Ziesmann, who owns the three-station network which beams the new WKRP from northern Kentucky to north of Dayton.
It has taken a month to prepare the transition, including getting Sandy - the Northern Kentucky resident who played WKRP program director Andy Travis on the 1978-82 CBS comedy set in a fictional Cincinnati radio station - to record “liners,” or short promotional announcements heard between songs.
WKRP was similar in a way to Gillligan's Island. I was more of a MaryAnne
kinda guy in the same way I was more of a Bailey guy on WKRP...

Like a good neighbor, JetBlue is there...
JetBlue announced yesterday it is stepping in to support Spirit customers and team members affected by the airline’s shutdown. They are offering $99 rescue fares to assist stranded travelers with immediate travel planned
JetBlue will cap fares to ensure affordable rebooking options remain available as more travelers look to rebook and demand increases. They will also significantly expand their presence at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) with 11 new cities to help backfill critical service and allow customers to continue to see a strong selection of flights and destinations.
The airline will extend its jumpseat agreement for Spirit pilots and flight attendants trying to get home and offer interview opportunities for open roles at JetBlue.
“This is really tough news for the thousands of Spirit team members affected, as well as the customers who were planning trips on Spirit,” said Joanna Geraghty, chief executive officer, JetBlue. “We got to know many of their crewmembers during our acquisition talks, and we’re thinking about everyone whose lives are being disrupted. We want to help fill the void created by this loss.”

In Florida, the garage isn’t for cars - it’s for catching a breeze and stretching the day just a little longer.
It’s sunset hangouts after a day on the water, impromptu get-togethers that start with “we’ll just stay for a bit,” and neighbors drifting over with drinks in hand. If the garage door’s open, you’re already invited - just watch for flip-flops at the door.
There’s always a circle of beach chairs, a cooler that’s been through more boat days than anyone can count, and a table covered in snacks that somehow disappear faster in the heat. Someone brought something homemade, someone else brought ice, and that’s all you really need.
There’s always that one person saying they’ve gotta head out before it gets too late… and somehow they’re still there, watching the sky turn orange and pink, starting another story.
The view might be a canal, the ocean, a lake, or just a palm-lined street - but once the sun starts dropping and the lights come on, the garage turns into the spot.
Conversations bounce from weather (“storm’s rolling in around 4”), to fishing, to “remember that hurricane,” like it’s part of everyday life. And somewhere in the mix, there’s always a Salt Life shirt, a Florida flag, or something bright and beachy to set the tone.
Because in Florida, the garage isn’t extra space - it’s where the day winds down and somehow keeps going. Thanks to Life in Florida for the inspiration.
