After 30 years, WKBW “AM Buffalo” host Linda Pellegrino will be retiring next month.

AM Buffalo is mainly a pay for play show on the Scripps station and WKBW GM Marc Jaromin says the show will go on with a new host. “We officially launched a nationwide search for a new co-host,” he said.

In an email to the Buffalo News, Pellegrino reflected on her career.

“I’ve been able to travel, work in Hollywood, and conduct literally thousands of interviews from personalities as diverse as Duchess Sarah Ferguson to Dr. Heimlich (who invented the Heimlich Maneuver)," she wrote. "I’ve covered all 4 Super Bowls, brought viewers to Disneyworld, and literally sat in the front row of life by hosting 'AM Buffalo.'

"It’s been a great opportunity for me and my family. I’ve been able to share my experiences from becoming a mom, to my battles with breast and thyroid cancer. And through it all, our wonderful audience was there for me.

"I think it’s a great time for the show to reinvent itself with its growing audience.”

Or, maybe it is time Scripps shelves the show altogether?

Pellegrino signs off in the middle of next month.
