Both Andy and Johnny bounced around from job to job. Was the theme song about both of them, or when you hear the theme song which one do you think it was about?

Probably Andy.

Well, I'll say Andy. He actually says, "Town to town, up and down the dial" at some point.

Checking, it's the episode where Andy and Venus are goofing around and Mrs. Carlson walks in.

Devil's advocate...

I'm living on the air in Cincinnati

Of the two them, only Johnny was living "on the air"

I always thought it was about Andy. "Living on the air" is just a metaphor to me.

I think the song pertains to Andy. Wasn't the pilot episode about Andy joining WKRP as the new program director?
