Veteran Pittsburgh Radio Personality Leaves Station

PITTSBURGH, PA — Longtime KDKA-AM talk show host Rob Mangino has left the station after 13 years.

Mangino made the announcement on his personal Facebook page. He did not disclose a reason for his departure.

Mangino's affiliation with KDKA actually dates back to 2008 when he was hired as a fill-in host. But in 2010, he said he got "the call."

"I was going to host my own show, weeknights from 6 p.m.-10 p.m. My dream came true," he stated. "Ever since, I've felt like the most blessed man to be able to call KDKA home."

Although Mangino remained on the station's website Monday, the daily schedule lists Rob Pratte in the 6 p.m.-1o p.m. shift.

Mangino said many people already have reached out to ask what they can do to help him.

"My answer to them and to all of you, when you have an opportunity to speak of me, I hope you
find something kind to say," Mangino said. "'Mangino Talks'...stay tuned."
