Investigative reporter Arnold Diaz, whose popular “Shame On You” consumer series ran for more than 20 years, has died at 74-after battling multiple myeloma.
Diaz retired in 2022 after a 50-year career in television journalism, during which he won 48 Emmy Awards.
One of the original television news consumer watchdogs, Diaz sent many scammers to jail with his reporting work. Diaz later worked for ABC’s 20/20, WNYW and WPIX, where his segments were retitled to “Shame, Shame, Shame.”
In 1995, Diaz was inducted into the National Academy of Arts and Sciences Silver Circle, given to those who have distinguished service in the broadcast industry for a minimum of 25 years.
Survivors include his wife, Shawn, three children and twin grandsons. No memorial plans have been revealed.
