After more than 30 years as a weekend staple on KDKA Radio, legendary Pittsburgh broadcaster Chris Moore announced his retirement on Sunday, with his final show scheduled for February 15, 2026.
Moore shared the news during his program, citing health and mobility challenges—exacerbated by recent winter weather—as key factors in his decision. “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,” he said. “That’s going to be it for the kid.”
Known as “The Moore of Pittsburgh,” his show has entertained listeners since 1994, sparking smiles, thoughtful reflection, and active participation through engaging talk radio. Beyond radio, Moore built an acclaimed career in television and journalism. He earned multiple Mid-Atlantic Emmy Awards as a producer and host at WQED Multimedia.
His broadcasting journey began in 1972 as a camera person at KETS-TV in Little Rock, Arkansas, followed by roles at KETC-TV (St. Louis), KWMU-Radio, WQED Pittsburgh (since 1980), and WPXI-TV.
