Former KDKA news director dies

By Eric O Brien

Pittsburgh:

Former KDKA Radio News director Matt Quinn and his wife, Cathy, died while trying to flee their Montague, Texas home as the north Texas wildfires burned. Quinn, a native of Youngstown, was 80. His 1960s stint at KDKA was brief and led to writing, reporting and directing stints in television in Cleveland, Detroit, Buffalo, Chicago, Philadelphia and Dallas.
