Shumway to leave radio; retains TV gig
November 26, 2019KDKA-AM (1020) morning anchor and KDKA-TV (2) reporter John Shumway will leave his radio gig behind after the November 27 program.
Michael Spacciapolli, Senior Vice President of Entercom Radio Pittsburgh said Tuesday:
After doing double duty at both KDKA Radio and KDKA TV for well over 15 years, John Shumway will be cutting back his schedule.
We have worked with John to determine it is best for him to relinquish his radio responsibilities and focus his time on his extraordinary work as a general assignment reporter at KDKA-TV.
John has been the cohost of the KDKA Radio Morning news for over 15 years – his tireless work ethic and news judgment has been a cornerstone of KDKA Radio mornings. His integrity is unquestionable. Simply put, John is one the most gifted, well-respected journalists in our city.“
Seems he was given the same “choice” as Marty G but made the choice to stay with TV. Marty, without a face for tv, stayed with radio.
With Shumway no longer on the KDKA morning show, explaining why so many Americans have problems accepting the hate-speak against Democrats, Minorities, Americans of Immigrant Heritage & Non-Christians, from Trump & the GOP, as opposed to Trump Supporting Larry, they’ve lost me as a listener.
