PITTSBURGH, PA — A longtime Pittsburgh TV news reporter is preparing to put down his microphone and step away from the camera.
KDKA-TV reporter Ross Guidotti announced his impending retirement in a recent social media post as he marked his 25th anniversary at the station. His last day will be Sept. 18.
According to his station webpage, over the course of his career the Pittsburgh native and Point University graduate covered hurricanes, forest fires, attempts to impeach former President Bill Clinton and the Sago mine disaster.
In 1995, he started reporting for WHSV-TV in Harrisonburg, VA. In 1996, he moved to WJAC-TV in Johnstown, where in 1998 he wrote, produced and hosted the Emmy nominated special "Who Will Protect the Children?"
