WTOP Dedicates ‘George Moshos Studio’
• Hubbard Radio’s WTOP News/Washington, DC announced the dedication of its production studio as “The George Moshos Production Studio,” in memory of the station’s long-time Production Manager, George Gus Moshos, who sadly passed away on Jan. 11, 2024.
On Wednesday, Feb. 14, which would have been Moshos’ 67th birthday, WTOP honored the life and career of Moshos, who became a fixture in the hallways of WTOP during the nearly four decades he worked there.
Moshos was known for many things, not the least of which was his kind-hearted nature. And while audio production work was his passion, his contributions extended far beyond just production. His dedication to his family was evident, and to his faith, which was borne out in his multiple terms as President of Saint Katherine’s Greek Orthodox Church in Bailey’s Crossroads, VA.
Commenting on Moshos’ life and long career, WTOP General Manager Joel Oxley said, “George helped me so much when I first started at WTOP 30 some-odd years ago. I knew little about production and he let me know it. His gruff demeanor and direct style took a minute to get used to. But it didn’t take long for me to realize this guy with the glint in his eyes was a person who cared. Really cared. About his job and doing it right, and more importantly, about people,” said Oxley. “He touched so, so many people and made things better for them. Seems only right to name where he spent so much time of his time ‘The George Moshos Production Studio.'”
Moshos began his career at WTOP in 1982. And some of his most treasured memories came from his 40-year tenure, where he often worked alongside distinguished Hall of Fame athletes, celebrities, and Washington personalities and dignitaries.
Moshos’ family shared their sentiments about the studio dedication in a statement that reads, “George took tremendous pride in his work at WTOP. It wasn’t just a job and career to him — it was an extension of his family. We know he would be deeply touched — as we are — by this extraordinary honor. Thank you, WTOP, for ensuring that George’s legacy will not be forgotten.”
