WKRP Is Real Now, a Man Lost His Car Over a Burger, and Tomatoes Are Fraudulent

WKRP in Cincinnati, the fictional radio station from the classic CBS sitcom, is now a real station in Cincinnati, playing the same adult hits format the show's characters once pretended to broadcast. Also real: a 38-year-old man from Sylvan Lake, Alberta, who drove 35 minutes to Red Deer for a burger, called 911 when a technical issue stopped staff from serving him, refused a breathalyzer when police arrived, and had his car seized. He confirmed to police he really wanted the burger. A lawsuit is accusing an Italian food distributor of selling San Marzano tomatoes that allegedly lack the EU consortium certification required to carry the name. The company calls the allegations meritless. Topics: WKRP Cincinnati, San Marzano tomato fraud, Alberta 911 burger, Cento lawsuit, weird news Originally aired on 2026-05-07
