- Gary Sandy (Andy Travis) Andy Travis is the new program director and turns the station from elevator music to rock — with his feathered hair Andy was handsome and wholesome, a sharpshooter who forms quite the bond with his staff.
- Gordon Jump (Arthur Carlson) Arthur Carlson, aka the ‘Big Guy,’ is the stammering awkward general manager whose main qualification is that his overbearing mother is WKRP’s owner.

- Tim Reid. Tim Reid's role as disc jockey Venus Flytrap has certainly stood out as one of the most memorable characters in "WKRP in Cincinnati." Following his over 80 episodes in "WKRP in Cincinnati," Reid had no problem transitioning into other television roles.
- Jan Smithers. The role of Bailey Quarters was played by up-and-coming actor Jan Smithers. Smithers, who also had a successful career as a model before "WKRP in Cincinnati" (via TV Guide), had racked up some solid screen time in shows throughout the 1970s that included "Starsky and Hutch" and "Love Story."
