Jon Delano

Jon Delano, money and politics editor for KDKA-TV since 2001, will retire on Dec. 1.

A KDKA story states, “‘It’s been the greatest honor of my life to work with such terrific colleagues at KDKA over the last three decades,’ said Delano. ‘Because of KDKA’s reputation for solid, even-handed journalism, I’ve had the privilege of interviewing many of the top leaders in our nation and commonwealth, asking the questions most Pennsylvanians would ask if they had the chance.’

“Over the years, Delano has made a lasting impact on KDKA’s public affairs programming. He produced and hosted the ‘Sunday Business Page’ segments, served as a panelist in numerous political debates, wrote hundreds of ‘Money Minutes’ financial advice segments, and co-hosted the ‘KD/PG Sunday Edition,’ a weekly public affairs program.

“Most recently, he launched Inside PA Politics, a program featuring young political activists tackling key issues.”
