After more than 30 years hosting a weekend show on KDKA in Pittsburgh, Chris Moore has announced he’ll be stepping away later this month.
On Sunday, February 15th, The Moore of Pittsburgh will air for the final time. He originally began the show in 1994.
“Having our meaningful discussions about world and local issues, as well as more mundane issues with you has been one of the highlights of my career,” said Moore.
Moore has earned several Emmy Awards for his work at Pittsburgh’s PBS station, WQED, and was inducted into the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Gold Circle last year. He’s also been inducted into his alma mater’s — Grambling State University — hall of fame.
The longtime KDKA host shared that mobility and health concerns, combined with the recent winter weather, were the leading factors in his considering his future.
