When a Cincinnati radio station switches from sedate music to top-40 rock 'n' roll, its staff of oddball characters is forced to switch gears quickly. New programming director Andy Travis brings in a new DJ named Venus Flytrap to work with the station's burned-out veteran, Dr. Johnny Fever. Neurotic newsman Les Nessman, eager beaver Bailey Quarters, sleazy salesman Herb Tarlek, blonde bombshell Jennifer Marlowe, who serves as the station's ultra-capable receptionist, and station manager Arthur Carlson, whose domineering mother owns WKRP, round out the eccentric bunch.

Andy tries to convince WKRP's owner that rock and roll will cure the station's ailing ratings.

Andy faces a fiscal crisis: Carlson won't finance a breaking-in period for the new format.

Les is barred from locker-room interviews when his manhood is questioned.

Andy books a rock band whose members attack their audiences.

A broadcast from a stereo shop is disrupted by a holdup.

Bailey's show brings out the weirdest people in town.

Andy may have to leave WKRP when he rekindles his love for a touring rock star.

In flashbacks, Andy and Carlson update WKRP's owner Mrs. Carlson on recent station happenings.

Les invites Jennifer to a banquet, then suspects she only accepted out of pity.
