Allen has been in radio and advertising for forty years...and Donna married him (it's not her fault, she didn't know where this could lead). We're both huge fans of "WKRP in Cincinnati"...so big, in fact, we decided we just had to chat about it with the whole world! (or at least the percentage of the world that en...
