Pittsburgh Now

PITTSBURGH,None — Pittsburgh Now is Western Pennsylvania’s premiere, locally-produced morning television talkshow.

Since 1997, the 10am hour on the Pittsburgh Cable News Channel has been the area’s top destination for catching up with the newsmakers of the day.

The story began with Pittsburgh favorite Lynn Cullen, who hosted CULLEN ON CABLE for nearly two years.  The late, legendary Fred Honsberger took over the reins in 1999, and the show became HONSBERGER LIVE for the next decade.  In early 2009, veteran broadcaster Chris Moore stepped in and the program evolved into its present form, PITTSBURGH NOW.  Chris brings more than 30 years of Pittsburgh on-air experience to the table.  He is an award-winning documentary producer, talkshow host, and passionate journalist.

Besides the top local and national newsmakers, the one-hour program also features in-depth interviews with celebrities, sports figures, and fascinating personalities from a variety of fields.  Past guests have included Charlton Heston, Richard Harris, Roger Moore, Raquel Welch, Anthony Hopkins, Angelina Jolie, Terry Bradshaw, Rich Little, Jackie Mason, Arianna Huffington, and many others.

Reaching more than 850,000 homes throughout Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio, and Northern West Virginia, Pittsburgh Now is live, weekday mornings at 10am, on PCNC, the regional cable arm of Pittsburgh’s NBC affiliate, WPXI-TV.
