For 15 years, NIGHTTALK has been the source for the latest news, hottest debates, and most intriguing stories -- straight from the mouths of the newsmakers themselves.

In addition to calling the live one-hour show at 412-333-PCNC, viewers can email the program anytime at NIGHTTALK@wpxi.com.
Every other Monday, as a special treat for Pittsburghers, NIGHTTALK focuses specifically on policy issues of importance to our home base. RODDEY & MISTICK ON NIGHTTALK features two longtime political foes (and friends!), James Roddey and Joseph Sabino Mistick. Although both men share strong backgrounds in politics and business, their respective right/left viewpoints on the hot issues of the day are usually at odds!
On Fridays, NIGHTTALK transforms into GET TO THE POINT! Three panelists – usually leaders from the local political or business community – join one of our guest hosts to discuss issues that specifically impact the PCNC audience. The panelists share their expertise, knowledge, and opinions for an in-depth conversation on the critical topics of the week.
Reaching more than 850,000 homes throughout Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio, and Northern West Virginia, NIGHTTALK is live weeknights at 8 p.m. on the Pittsburgh Cable News Channel (PCNC), the cable arm of Pittsburgh’s NBC affiliate, WPXI-TV.
