TV Plus Cover July 1980



Here is the second cover from local Cincinnati TV guide covers when the first WKRP series aired. This one features Ohio native Gary Sandy who was Andy Travis on the show. This cover is from the Cincinnati Post newspaper magazine called TV Plus. It is dated July 1980. Along with the cover I have included the back cover where the story is the sorry state of summer television at that time. Cable TV was still in its infancy so there were only 3 networks. That would soon change. Most of the time the networks didn't put new programs on in the summer. If you click on the article and read it you can feel the disgust that the writer has for how the networks handle summer TV. Yes I know most people are outside being active in the summer but when you come in you need something to watch.
