Cigna spent more than 30 years at KDKA (1020), 18 of them in morning drive. As the station says, "His loyal listeners will remember the charity [motorcycle] rides, the spaghetti breakfasts in Market Square and the goofball TV spots." Brooklyn native Cigna worked in West Virginia, Ohio and Indiana before landing at Group W's KDKA around 1970. He did a nighttime talkshow for a decade, then took over mornings in 1983. In 2001, he retired, and now a decade later, passed away. KDKA says Cigna died Friday afternoon. One of the posters on the Pittsburgh Board of Radio-Info.com says "When I moved to Pittsburgh in 1999, I wanted to listen to KDKA-AM because of its rich history, and I listened to John Cigna all the time until his retirement."
