For BYU football home games as well as “Utah’s Morning News” on KSL News Radio from 5 to 9 AM, he continues to provide your morning traffic updates. He covered traffic for KSL 5 TV for seven years before switching to reviewing movies for their morning newscast.
Since 1998, when Andy began his radio career with Metro Networks as an intern who provided traffic updates to on-air talent, Andy has been associated with traffic reporting in some capacity. After that, he was allowed to produce traffic updates. He then spent some time writing and producing news and sports copy for radio.
