WKRP in Cincinnati, the fictional radio station from the classic CBS sitcom, is now a real station in Cincinnati, playing the same adult hits format the show's characters once pretended to broadcast.

Also real: a 38-year-old man from Sylvan Lake, Alberta, who drove 35 minutes to Red Deer for a burger, called 911 when a technical issue stopped staff from serving him, refused a breathalyzer when police arrived, and had his car seized. He confirmed to police he really wanted the burger.

A lawsuit is accusing an Italian food distributor of selling San Marzano tomatoes that allegedly lack the EU consortium certification required to carry the name. The company calls the allegations meritless.
