Signing Off in the Burgh

Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Earlier this month, FTVLive told you that KDKA (Pittsburgh) Anchor/Reporter Paul Martino was leaving the station after working at the CBS O&O for decades.

Well, now another longtime Anchor is following him out the door at KDKA.

After 38 years at the Pittsburgh station, Anchor Stacy Smith has announced that he is leaving the station next month.

“I offer my heartfelt thank you for joining me each day on KDKA,” Smith said in a statement. “It has been my privilege to report the stories, from tragedies to triumphs and the everyday events that affect all of our lives.”

“Stacy is truly a pro’s pro,” Chris Cotugno, KDKA’s vice president and general manager, said in a statement. “He has worked tirelessly to bring the news of the day to our Pittsburgh community. His career is marked with great accomplishments, compassion and friendship.”

“His dedication to his co-workers and community was never more evident than during this pandemic,” Cotugno said in the statement. “He never had an excuse not to do something, he just did it — true professionalism. I will miss our talks about ratings, the stock market and of course, golf.
