- 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.
- Jan Smithers (Bailey Quarters) Bailey Quarters was originally in charge of billing and station traffic, the young ingenue of the station if you will.
- Frank Bonner (Herb Tarlek) Herb Tarlek was the vain sales manager with the tackiest suits in Cincinnati, often referred to as the “Little Guy” to Arthur Carlsons’ “Big Guy.”
The ensemble cast consists of Gary Sandy (as Andy Travis), Howard Hesseman (Dr. Johnny Fever), Gordon Jump (Arthur Carlson), Loni Anderson (Jennifer Marlowe), Tim Reid (Venus Flytrap), Jan Smithers (Bailey Quarters), Richard Sanders (Les Nessman) and Frank Bonner (Herb Tarlek). [4]
- Gary Sandy. Andy Travis is the man hired to turn the failing WKRP around, breathing new life into a station that seems to be aging itself out of the Cincinnati market.
- Richard Sanders. Bald, bespectacled, and grossly incompetent might be several adjectives used to describe Richard Sanders' character Les Nessman. The WKRP reporter is no stranger to gaffes or on-air flubs, with a history of butchering the names of subjects he's reporting on.
- 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."
