Music Changes In "WKRP In Cincinnati":
"If you've watched 'WKRP In Cincinnati' on the Comedy Network in Canada, or on TNN in the United States, or on the commercial videotapes released in 1998, then you may have noticed that some of the music has been changed. You may have also noticed some dialogue changes, as in one episode that now has a nonsense line ('Hold my order, terrible dresser') replacing a quote from Elton John's 'Tiny Dancer.' This page will try to explain what's happened to the music on 'WKRP,' and why. Originally, nearly all the music played on the show was real rock music by real artists, both in 'WKRP''s CBS run and in the subsequent syndicated reruns. But in the last few years, a new package of 'WKRP' episodes has been distributed, and much of the music has been replaced by generic instrumental music from a music library, or by sound-alike 'fake' songs. Also, some of the dialogue has been redubbed by voice impersonators, usually when the actors were speaking over the music, but sometimes to remove references to songs that have been replaced."
