In the book America's Favorite Radio Station series creator Hugh Wilson says that the idea for WKRP and several of the characters came from people he knew at WQXI in Atlanta. He said that Johnny Fever was based on Skinny Bobby Harper who later moved over to WSB. Gordon Jump, who played Arthur Carlson, is also quoted as saying that his character was based on a real person at WQXI and that person is the one who actually orchestrated the infamous turkey drop when he worked for another radio station in Texas.
