Welcome to the first installment of a brand-new feature here on PoliticsPA.

Every Friday afternoon, we’ll provide a preview of the various Sunday morning political talk shows that are filmed and broadcast throughout the commonwealth.

Our hope is to alert readers to the important interviews and insights that each show in their region offers.

We’re just starting out and our hope is this feature will grow with time. So, if there is a program you’d like to recommend or, better yet, you work for a program not yet featured here send us a message (sysnyder@politicspa.com) and we’ll try to include it.
