Sunday will mark the end of an era as KDKA Radio's Chris Moore will retire after his final broadcast.
Moore was asked Friday morning what he's proudest of.
“I think showing Pittsburgh a reflection of itself through some of the documentaries I have produced like ‘Wyle Avenue Days’, ‘Barber Shops’ and so many other shows that have had a positive influence on people that watch television,” said Moore on The Big K Morning Show.
His final show is this Sunday, February 15, from 5 to 9 p.m.
“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 during his retirement announcement a couple of weeks ago.
Chris says that his health and mobility issues, combined with the recent winter weather forced him to consider his future.
“The Moore of Pittsburgh” has been a local weekend staple since 1994 and Chris has provided countless hours of entertaining radio that made listeners smile, think and participate.
“That’s going to be it for the kid,” said Moore.
Chris won multiple Mid-Atlantic Emmy Awards during his other career as a producer and host at WQED and was inducted into the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Gold Circle Award last year for his over 50 years of “exemplary service.”
