Arnold Diaz, investigative reporter at WPIX New York, has retired. Diaz has been on TV for 50 years. His investigative franchise on WPIX is called “What a Shame!” and “regularly exposes wrongdoing and incompetence by private industry and government agencies, and often leads to actions by law enforcement officials, as well as the enactment of legislation.”
On PIX11.com, Diaz said “What a Shame!” “gave voice to victims.”
Diaz announced his retirement on air March 29.
“Congratulations to the legendary Arnold Diaz on fifty years of incredible service to New Yorkers as a fixture on our televisions, delivering hard-hitting journalism that got results for so many,” said New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Twitter. “Enjoy a well-deserved retirement!”
