A radio network in Ohio has undergone a significant rebranding, transforming from "The Oasis" to "WKRP in Cincinnati." This change honors the iconic television show of the same name. The network, covering areas including Cincinnati and Dayton, now features rock and pop music spanning the 1960s to the 1980s.
