On Steve's last day, June 30, Albany Mayor Kathy Sheehan surprised him in the studio by declaring June 30, 2025, as Steve Caporizzo Day in the City of Albany.

“It is difficult because I truly love my job and all the people I work with, but I know it is time,” he said. “Lisa and I will have more time together, and more time with our fur kids, which is the most important thing," he said while announcing his retirement.
