How come WKRP only has two disc jockeys?
A. Though only two DJs are regular cast members, WKRP does have other DJs, most of whom we never see. The late-night “graveyard shift” is done by the suicidal Moss Steiger (sometimes called Moss Steiner). The DJ who comes on right after Johnny, for the late-morning and early-afternoon shift, is Rex Erheart, who is played by Sam Anderson in the episode “Rumors.” In “Ask Jennifer,” we are told that the afternoon DJ (between Rex and Venus, presumably) is “Dean the Dream,” who quits radio to go to law school. In the episode “The Union,” all of WKRP’s on-air personalities gather together; in addition to DJs Johnny and Venus and newscasters Les and Bailey, there are at least four other DJs there (though we don’t see their faces).
