snip....

Wilson looked at the butchered shows and had to agree. Things turned around, however, when Shout Factory hosted a Paley Center WKRP reunion this May in Los Angeles (included on the box set as a bonus feature). Shout Factory president Garson Foos told Wilson he had already negotiated clearances for 65 per cent of the music used on the series. That eventually inched up toward 90 per cent and the DVD box set was a go. (One hold out: Pink Floyd, spoiling a gag in the classic “Turkeys Can Fly” episode.)
