“To say that Art is a much-loved member of the WABC family is just barely scratching the surface of his impact on my leadership team, the station and the industry overall,” Galvez said in a memo to staff. “Art has been part of our ABC family for a remarkable 53 years, beginning at WKBW-TV in Buffalo when ABC was known as Capital Cities/ABC. He then worked as the director of programming at WPVI in Philadelphia for many years before joining WABC in 1989.”

Galvez added, “Art has been with Live… almost since its inception 36 years ago, making an indelible mark on not just the show but the daytime television landscape overall and winning the hearts of viewers nationwide along the way.”

“Art’s influence at WABC – and most especially at Live with Kelly and Mark – can’t be overstated,” said Chad Matthews, President, ABC Owned Television Stations. “He is a daytime television pioneer and legend in broadcasting. We can’t thank him enough for his contributions over the years and look forward to celebrating him more in the coming months.”
