Funny, I didn't watch this show much but was well aware of it as a kid, maybe it went over my head. And like many things introduced as a kid, I never thought to consider what KRP was supposed to mean. But I did just now, cheers.
Meta: I'm still learning new things about the 70s and 80s.
They even had a parody of a reality show in "Real Families." This was in 1980.
There's a scene where Herb is talking his family up as he attempts to casually throw a football with his kid. It quickly becomes obvious Herb has never played with his son, who makes no attempt to catch the ball and just keeps getting hit with it.
Ooh, it's even better than I remembered-- Herb steals his son's stuffed animal from him to get him to play catch:
The conceit of the show (pilot episode) was that the station had been a staid and lame radio station (out of Cincinnati) that suddenly came under new ownership (I think?). The staff now get to build a new (and cooler) brand for the station and there are no longer any guardrails.
Their OpenWRT wiki page for installing on my router was a mess, but I got through it and took extensive notes about where the page was wrong or confusing. Then I asked for access to their wiki and was… ignored. After a week or so I forgot all the info and the notes started to look like gibberish.
