“WKRP in Cincinnati” was a great show, but there never actually WAS a WKRP in the city of Cincinnati. But that’s about to change. D.P. McIntire runs a nonprofit that’s been using those call letters for a low-power station in Raleigh, North Carolina since 2015. Before that, they’d been used in Texas, Georgia, and Tennessee. But McIntire recently made a deal to sell them to someone who’s FINALLY bringing WKRP to the city that made those letters famous. He says, quote, “I cannot, by contract, tell you when. I cannot tell you who. But I can tell you, direct to the camera, WKRP, after 48 years, is coming to Cincinnati.” He adds, quote, “It will be radio. But that’s all I can tell you at this time.”
Tori Spelling and seven children were taken to the hospital following a two-car accident Thursday night in Temecula, California. Four of the kids were Tori’s . . . she and her ex-husband have five . . . and the other three were friends. Sources say their vehicle was hit by a car that was speeding and ran a red light, but no arrests were made at the scene. Tori and the kids were treated for various injuries, including bruises, contusions, and concussions, but they were all released from the hospital that night. Video taken at the scene shows Tori speaking with police, and she looks to be in decent shape. Her car sustained relatively minor damage compared to the other one.

Carrie Underwood solved the secret to staying grounded in the entertainment industry. She says it’s all about faith. “You’re kind of in a self-serving business. Everybody around you is there to make sure you’re good, and you’re happy, and you have everything you need, and I feel like you can start to . . . lose your roots real fast, you know. “So I think faith is the only way to keep you grounded.”

Zach Top is pretty into golf. So when he plays a bad game, it really gets him down. To get him out of his funk, he turns to music. More specifically, his song “Between the Ditches”. “So I got home, and I’m really sad about it, and I was trying to write a song to encapsulate the level of sorrow I feel. Then I realized I already had . . . so I was going to sing a snippet of this song for you.”
Zach Bryan has never canceled a headline show during his five years of touring, but that changed Friday. He was forced to cancel his show in Oklahoma because of dangerous weather.
