David Dalrymple "Dave" Moore (June 4, 1924 – January 28, 1998) was a popular Minnesota television personality and beloved figure in the area from the 1950s through the time of his death.
Moore hosted the evening news on WCCO channel 4 from 1957 until he retired to a more leisurely schedule in 1991.
When recounting Moore's life story, journalists never neglect to include the fact that he was only offered the anchor post after Walter Cronkite turned it down.
Like Cronkite, Moore reported the news like an everyday man off the street—which he contended that he was.
The string of good fortune that led to Moore becoming influential was sometimes a source of guilt for him.
His humble nature and commitment to hard journalism is considered a major contributor to the high quality of Twin Cities newscasts through the 1990s.
