....bothered me about this show. How come they never showed or even mentioned, any other DJs? I mean, Johnny & Venus couldn't have been the ONLY ones!

From Jamie Weinman:

Q. 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).

It would have been neat to have shown other DJ's working at the station.
They could have had some minor parts in the show.

I seem to remember other DJs mentioned in the dialogue, but I don't remember seeing them.
