Medical correspondent Maria Simbra retiring from KDKA-TV

As a news intern at KDKA, Dr. Simbra rushed to Pittsburgh International Airport on Sept. 11, 2001. While the airport was being evacuated, someone told her an errant plane was heading toward Pittsburgh. Instead, United Flight 93 crashed in nearby Somerset County, killing everyone on board. Twenty years later, she found herself covering another high-profile disaster, the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dr. Simbra, a KDKA medical correspondent for almost two decades, resigned from the TV station on Friday and will retire May 28. Twelve years earlier, she retired from medicine to pursue a full-time career as a broadcast journalist.

She is the latest longtime KDKA radio or TV newscaster to retire. KDKA Radio’s Rose Ryan-Douglas retired on Feb. 26 and KDKA-TV’s Stacy Smith and Paul Martino set their last days at the station for May 30 and June 30, respectively.
