Pittsburgh's oldest news station going off the air

KQV, Pittsburgh's oldest all-news station, to go off air Jan. 1

This is sad news for the news business. Our own Richard Gideon is an alumnus of the station - part of the original 1975 NBC News and Information Service crew.

Before their all-news format, we would all listen to Jim Quinn, Chuck Brinkman, and others for their top 40 list that would be available at National Record Mart weekly. I just came across an old one that I had. August 10, 1971 - August 17, 1971 Hit Parade I was a rising senior at Mt. Lebanon and back in the day when we used baby oil to get darker tans.

Sorry to hear that a Pittsburgh reliable news source is going off the air.
