The emotional farewell for Moore included a retirement party that drew employees together to celebrate his contributions. His time with the station marked a significant period of growth for WABC, enhancing its relationship with viewers and developing a slate of successful programming.

"Live with Kelly and Mark" has dedicated the week to celebrating Moore, with hosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos paying tribute to his long-standing dedication. The celebration will culminate with a special episode on Friday, which will no doubt be filled with heartfelt moments honoring Moore’s service.
Moore, in his typical fashion, made light of his retirement, joking that he had no immediate plans and looked forward to “doing nothing” for a while. His humor and humility were on full display as he reflected on the joy of working alongside talented colleagues, expressing that leaving them would be the most challenging part.
As a beloved figure within the WABC family, Moore’s departure is bittersweet, but his legacy will continue to shape the station for years to come.
