ma'am charles van sinker oh dear yes he walked into the uh station this afternoon and announced he was the new news director and that was news to me i'm sorry andrew you were eventually going to tell me right look this is a very difficult decision for me what is this dictator's remorse i had planned to discuss this with you next week well let's discuss it right now can you give me three solid reasons why less should be fired yes he's incompetent unprofessional and very weird well yeah i don't plan to fire less you don't i want to show you something are you familiar with sattler selman and cardone yes there are a bunch of programming consultants a very expensive bunch of programming consultants 665 pages on the cincinnati market and wkrp's place in it so it's a thick book would you care to read the last paragraph of the recommendations chapter no i would not well then i'll read it wkrp's top 40 audience is at its peak the sound quality of the am signal cannot compete with fm stations if wkrp is to remain profitable in the long run we recommend changing to a non-music format all news all news well i i i don't know the first thing about programming an all news station that's why i hired mr von sanchez all news all news that is the most ridiculous thing i've heard since herb tardik's dancing duck promotion does this book say that cincinnati already has an all-new station look we'll be losing money the first 18 months we're finally making some profit here we just got the ratings book we're number six it doesn't matter this does not make any sense we're finally making some money here with news i can make more what by turning the station over to charles van senker what has he got besides add noise he comes very highly recommended from where fargo for fargo from fargo yes and where did i hire you from from santa fe well it's one of the top 70 markets in the united states of america are you through well you tell me here he is you missed quite a celebration and the best part is herb got stuck with the bill there's our guest of honor where the hell you been it was great andy even johnny toasted old lady carlton you're the gracious bloodsucker i i expect 22.53 from each of you andy you don't have to pay herb here's my money thanks may i say something to everyone i just got back from mrs carlson's it seems to be over uh starting next week she wants to change her format next week no more rock and roll rod i wish i was it's a business decision wait wait a minute how does this affect me [Applause] what kind of format 24 hours a day of news i'm supposed to tell everybody that you're welcome to stay and be a part of the new wkrp the information station there's jobs for all of you andy can't we do anything yeah let's walk let's shut her down look i already told her if we didn't do things my way i was gone and all right what did i miss yo it's uh 7 30 p.m here my children this is venus on krp for wild at least so did she say how much profit is enough she just kept tapping this thick book as if it had all the answers statistics right i don't trust them statistically speaking anybody who has led the kind of life that i had should look completely wasted so there is money in news i don't want any part of that oh no money she ain't gonna make any money police for the first couple of years come on she's gonna lose her skirt i'll tell you another statistic did you know supposedly three out of four teenagers in america today think that chuck berry was the host of the gong show [Laughter] hi guys uh andy all right just to have a little talk with mama mother uh ooh there you go oh no no thanks so i'm still gone huh well no not exactly my mother like for you to stay on as a public relations director krp okay find out a choice assignment like krp's traffic reporter well venus has got that job only during the rush hour mama's not trying to hurt us once you know that just wants us to be number one what's wrong with that i hate traffic oh come on she just wants us to be up there at the top if mother said to me once she said to me a dozen times said arthur i want you to be the general manager of the number one radio station in this city so you're leaving too huh [Music] look travis being number one is the american way well look at our bengals for example huh lost the super bowl well uh well yeah but dc football is still the number one spectator sport in the world soccer sock soccer were you this effective with your mother look i'm just trying to make a point fever so am i excuse me i wkrp in cincinnati will be back after this thank you you're gonna go to heaven for that what's going on hey guys thank you very much for turning mrs carlson around for me not yet i can't find venus it's time what's going on [Applause] oh andy
