It was a bittersweet morning on Live with Kelly and Mark. Art Moore, WABC’s VP Programming and the morning show’s executive in charge of production, is retiring after 36 years working on Live and 53 at the network.
Hosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos gave Moore his flowers on-air Friday morning — and so did the audience, who gave him a rousing round of applause and a standing ovation.
This is what he will miss the most come Monday. Ahead of his final show, he told Deadline that “the hardest part for me [is] leaving the people.” “I don’t think I can watch the show for the first couple of weeks, because I’ll get myself crazy,” he said. “I need to divorce myself, you know, from being there every day.” Moore first became part of the ABC family in 1966, working for WKBW-TV in Buffalo, NY, which at the time was part of the Capital Cities/ABC group.
From there, he worked as the Executive Producer-Director of WVI-TV’s popular morning show, AM/Philadelphia, before moving to WPVI-TV in Philadelphia, and eventually joining WABC-TV as Director of Programming.
