Ever wonder why there's no DVD boxed set for WKRP in Cincinnati? Well, you can thank the lunkheads at the RIAA, who seem to think that no money is better than whatever would come in - the licensing of the various snippets of music that were on the show is just too complex to sort out:

Thanks to the limitless generosity fiscal acuity of the record labels, coupled with copyright extension after copyright extension, the good folks who handle DVD releases are often faced with a tough choice in the face of demands from copyright holders on old songs: raise the product price to compensate for licensing fees, rescore parts or all of the release, or don't build a DVD at all. The outcomes, then, are American Dreams: Season 1, Extended Music Edition for US$89, or Crime Story without Del Shannon's Runaway in the intro, or no WKRP in Cincinnati boxed set at all.

Yeah, our pals at the RIAA are always out to help us. Puzzlewits.
