Wasn't Jerry Springer the mayor of Cincinnati in the years that program aired?

I frequent radio boards and whenever someone complains about stations dumping one format or another to make
more $$, I bring up a moment in the first episode of
WKRP. When Andy Travis dumps "beautiful music" for raucous rock, station owner Mrs. Carlson says, "Young man,
this radio station is a BUSINESS. It is not here for
your personal employer."

Travis replies, "Ma'am, I know it's a business...
and that's why I had to change the format..."

The famous scene from that episode: informed of the
format change, Johnny Caravella (Howard Hesseman)
drags a needle across a record ("...what's a record?")
and says "OK, Cincinnatti it is time for THIS town
to get DOWN! You've got Johnny--DR. Johnny FEVER
and I'm burning up in here! We're all in critical
condition, babies, but you can tell us where it
hurts...'Give it to me straight, Doctor, I can
take it!"
