WKRC (550 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Cincinnati, Ohio. The station airs a talk radio format, under the branding "55KRC". The station's offices and studios are on Montgomery Road off Interstate 71 in Cincinnati. WKRC is powered at 5,000 watts by day and 1,000 watts at night, using a directional antenna with a four-tower array. Its transmitter site is off Murnan Road near the AA Highway (Kentucky Route 9) in Cold Spring, Kentucky. Despite the similarities in their call sign, WKRC was not the inspiration behind the television show WKRP in Cincinnati. The show's creator, Hugh Wilson, wrote the premise based on personal experiences at WQXI in Atlanta.{{citation needed|date=August 2024))
