In the conclusion of WKRP in Cincinnati's two-part series opener, WKRP's new program director Andy Travis (Gary Sandy) manages to avoid being fired when his strategy of switching over to a top-40 rock format results in a ratings upsurge. Unfortunately, the station's older sponsors pull out, and station manager Carlson (Gordon Jump) refuses any further financing of WKRP's new format. At the same time, dozens of elderly "easy-listening" fans picket the station, demanding the return of Lawrence Welk and Paul Anka)--a potential disaster that Andy characteristically "flips" to his advantage by transforming the demonstration into a big-time publicity stunt!
