WKRP IN CINCINNATI: PILOT {PART 1 OF 2} {SERIES PREMIERE} (TV)
Summary
The premiere of this comedy series about the staff of a small radio station in Cincinnati, Ohio. In this episode, Andy Travis, the new program director, finds that he is less than welcome. Andy immediately attempts to change the failing station's dated format to rock music, but is met with opposition from the station owner, Mrs. Carlson. Andy impresses the staff with his enthusiasm and ability and Mrs. Carlson gives him a chance, on the condition that the station turns a profit. Commercials deleted. (This episode is the first part of the two-part series pilot, which continues with T:30322.)
