Marty Griffin

Marty Griffin (born June 12, 1959) is an American investigative reporter and radio talk show host working for KDKA-TV and KDKA radio in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. A native of Pittsburgh, he attended Ohio University and began working as a journalist in Wichita Falls, Texas before moving to Dallas, Texas where he was an investigative reporter for NBC affiliate KXAS.

In 2005, he was found guilty of defiant trespass by the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas after an investigative report supposedly showing lax security at a Port Authority of Allegheny County bus garage. In 2006, that charge was overturned on freedom of speech grounds.

In May 2020, he repeatedly misgendered Dr. Rachel Levine, the Pennsylvania Secretary of Health, and the first openly trans official in state history, during a question and answer session, prompting him to apologize on Twitter.
