No. WKRP was a fictional radio station when the series was created. There was no WKRP radio anywhere int he US until 1989, and it was in Dallas. There is currently no WKRP radio. Local Cincinnati Low Power Digital TV channel WBQC 25 has a sub-channel labeled WKRP.
When the series producers came up with the call letters they used KRP as a joke to mean "crap".
There is a WKRC - AM 550 in Cincinnati which at the time the original series aired was known for its antics and crazy promotions. FM sister station WKRQ-FM 101.9 (Q-102 - Top 40 Rock-pop station) also claimed some input to the TV series. But neither station actually had any direct input to the TV show. It all came out of the heads of the writers. The series was also NOT filmed in Cincinnati. Only the opening and closing sequences were filmed in the city. The series had serious problems with local geography and sometimes even place-name pronunciations.

Why do am radio stations cut there broadcast power at night?
50,000 Watt stations don't cut their power. Such as KKOB, KFAB, and others. some 30,000 Watt stations, such as KSL, don't cut their power, and some do. 10,000 Watt stations, such as WKRP, cut their power, simply because AM goes farther at night. Example: In the daytime, KKOB covers most of NM, while at night, it covers the entirety of the Western half of the United States. Try it sometime. At like 11:00 at night, tune in to 770, and you will hear Coast-to-coas AM, literally covering coast-to-coast perfectly or close-to-perfectly from ABQ, NM. Simple. You have a radio station right next door to you, (like a mile away) and you can't hear it because the station from farawayville is bleeding in massively, Ex: there is a 1600 AM station in NM, but one in Washington, too. At night, they will bleed into each other, making each other obsolete. Without doing this, at night, AM will be a bunch of heebajeeb.
