Actor Gary Sandy, whose portrayal of WKRP In Cincinnati program director Andy Travis inspired a generation to pursue radio careers, will be honored with an "influencer award" at Radio Ink magazine's Radio Masters Sales Summit next month at the Cincinnati Airport Marriott.
From 1978 to 1982, Sandy was "living on the air in Cincinnati" as program director of WKRP-AM, a fictional struggling Cincinnati radio station depicted in a half-hour CBS situation comedy series.
"We are especially excited and proud to present this award to Gary Sandy. His portrayal of the much beloved Andy Travis brought to life a character who inspired many to join the radio profession," said Deborah Parenti, president and publisher of Radio Ink, a broadcasting trade magazine owned by Steamline Publishing in Boynton Beach, Fla.

Andy Travis was one of the two completely sane, sensible characters on the show -- mostly he was the perfect straight man that was needed for all the jokes.
