With a 50-year career that’s shaped both broadcasting and the community, this honor recognizes TV professionals whose impact goes far beyond the newsroom.
Looking back, Moore describes this moment as a turning point in his career:
"Oh I think maybe the production of 'Wylie Avenue Days' back in 1990 when we won an Emmy for that," he said.
He's witnessed enormous changes in how stories are told but says he's not surprised.
"You got to be multi-talented to work in social media too. Those were things that we didn't have when I was coming along," he said.
Moore earned a Silver Circle honor in 2018.
His induction into the Gold Circle is a reflection of both the longevity and the profound impact of his work.
Moore says some have compared his legacy to that of Teenie Harris, the renowned African-American photographer who documented Pittsburgh’s Black community and its stories for more than four decades.
"I think I've left a legacy of people telling their stories about what it was like back in the day when Civil Rights was something that everybody argued about and Affirmative Action, and these folks worked to make it better so I would have some shoulders to stand on," he said.
When asked who had the most influence on shaping his career, Moore credited his wife, Joyce, without hesitation.
Congratulations, job well done, and so well deserved.
