KDKA Filling The Phil Hole

A few people sent us a link to a story on CBS’s KDKA (Pittsburgh) that was headlined:

We clicked on the story and this is what we got:

So, is this new show launching? Did they announce it prematurely? What gives?

Anyway, supposedly the CBS O&O is going to launch "Talk Pittsburgh” later this month. It will be the filling the hole left by Dr. Phil, who is taking his money and going home.

According to KDKA, before the story was deleted, the program will address the big three news stories – known as the known as "3 at 3" - that impact Pittsburgh residents.

"But it goes beyond just the who, what, when, where and why," Shawn Hoder, KDKA news director, said in a statement. "Our daily guests will include experts, analysts, and everyday Pittsburghers, who will break down the headlines to make it meaningful to the people living, working and raising families in our area."

Boy does that line sound like some PR bullshit to me.

Anyway, I guess we’ll see if the show goes on or not? Personally, it doesn’t sound like must watch TV in any sense of the word.
