For KDKA-TV news anchor Stacy Smith, the decision to retire was less about his age, 72, than about hitting a milestone.

“I really feel like I could go on another five or 10 years,” Smith said earlier this month. “So that begs the question, ‘Why are you leaving the anchor desk?’ I think it’s also because I have done it for 50 years, and I think it’s time for me to look at some other endeavors at this point.”
