WDPC initially signed on in September 1979 as WKRP. At first, the FCC denied the call letters to the new station, stating that
MTM Enterprises , the producers of the popularCBS series "WKRP in Cincinnati ", had a 'hold' on the callsign. When the station's lawyer pointed out to the FCC, "MTM is neither a licensee, nor a permittee. Therefore, MTM has no legal basis to reserve the WKRP callsign", they allowed the assignment. In August 1989, the station switched to its current calls, WDPC.External links
