Summary:
Follows the staff of a struggling radio statio as their new programming director changes the format to rock music. The '70s ushered in a whole new era of rock 'n' roll and soul. And no one spun the hits better than Cincinnati's own WKRP! But while its airwaves carried pure bliss, this iconic radio station was total anarchy behind the scenes! With its on-air personalities--slick Dr. Johnny Fever, hip Venus Flytrap and nebbish news anchor Les Nessman--and smart program director Andy, ingénue Bailey, indecisive manager Carlson, unscrupulous advertising executive Herb and, of course, the station's lovely receptionist, Jennifer, WKRP in Cincinnati gives you a whole new appreciation for the hilarity of radio!
