Storyline
Arthur "Big Guy" Carlson tries to run a failing Cincinnati radio station owned by his "tough as nails" mother. His own incompetence is overshadowed by the strange employees that work at the station. From wild Disc Jockeys: Dr. Johnny Fever and Venus Flytrap to the geeky news director, Les Nessman and obnoxious advertising sales manager, Herb Tarlek. With the help of saner employees such as Bailey Quarters; the rather shy journalism major; Jennifer Marlowe, the beautiful receptionist who is the very opposite of a stereotypical "Dumb Blonde" and Andy Travis; the studly program director, Carlson tries gimmick after crazy gimmick to bring money into the station and make it a success.

Trivia
Originally, it was announced that William Daniels was to be cast in the "Clean Up Radio Everywhere" (episode #3.22) segment. His part, Dr. Bob Halyers, however, was recast with actor Richard Paul because of Paul's resemblance to Jerry Falwell, the person on whom Halyers was based. Daniels, however, would eventually work for 'MTM Enterprises [us]' full time in the role of Dr. Mark Craig on the NBC medical drama, St. Elsewhere. See more »Goofs
Revealing mistakes: In the pilot episode, after the rock music change, the needle on the turntable is on the label of the record that's playing, yet the music is playing fine. Clearly, music was never playing from actual vinyl records when WKRP played their songs. See more »Crazy Credits
The lyrics for the closing credits consist of gibberish words. See more »
