KD/PG Sunday Edition

CBS2-Pittsburgh-11:30 a.m.

This Sunday morning at 11:30 a.m., on KDKA-TV’s “KD/PG Sunday Edition”, with KDKA-TV News Anchor Stacy Smith and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Executive Editor David Shribman:

On this week’s broadcast, a post-mortem, on the contentious Republican Presidential debate in Houston, Texas, Thursday night, from Pennsylvania’s Republican United States Senator, Pat Toomey.  Toomey — who is seeking re-election — has endorsed fellow G.O.P. Senate colleague Marco Rubio’s Presidential campaign. We’ll also talk with Senator Toomey, about Senate Republicans’ decision NOT to hold confirmation hearings for ANY nominee chosen by President Obama, to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia, on the United States Supreme Court – before the end of the Obama presidency.

We’ll also ask Toomey about President Obama’s decision to close GITMO – the American military detention camp and military prison, located with the Guantanamo Bay Naval base that fronts Guantanamo Bay, in Cuba.

In 2002, GITMO was established, during the George W. Bush Administration. Then-Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said this use of the prison, was to detain dangerous criminals, and prosecute them, for war crimes, against the United States.  President Obama says the base serves as a recruiting tool, for terrorist groups, like ISIS. Senator Toomey disagrees, and wants to keep GITMO open.

Please join Stacy Smith and David Shribman, for this conversation with Senator Pat Toomey, on the “KD/PG Sunday Edition” – Sunday morning at 11:30 a.m., immediately following CBS’ “Face the Nation”, on KDKA-TV!

The Sunday Business Page

CBS2-Pittsburgh-6:30 a.m.

This Sunday morning at 6:30 a.m., on KDKA-TV’s “The Sunday Business Page” – with KDKA-TV’s Money & Politics Editor, Jon Delano:

This week, came the welcome news that the United Steelworkers and Allegheny Technologies, Inc. (ATI) had reached a tentative agreement on a new contract, which, if approved, could end a long, bitter work stoppage (ruled by the National Labor Relations Board to be an illegal lockout, against the workers). But, this issue is only one of many challenges, facing the American steel industry – which struggles with the powerful wave of illegally dumped, cheap, foreign steel from countries like Russia and China, as well as a huge slump in business, because of reduced need for steel pipe for drilling, because of a glut of foreign oil.

We’ll talk with John Delaney, Ph.D. – Professor of Business Administration, Organizations, and Entrepreneurship, and former Dean, at the University of Pittsburgh’s Katz Graduate School of Business – and Ronald Ashburn – Executive Director of the Association for Iron & Steel Technology – for some valuable perspective, on the uncertain prospects, for an industry that has been so critical to our economy.

Then, recommendations, from a special task force created by Pennsylvania’s Governor Tom Wolf, to improve worker and environmental safety in the Commonwealth’s oil and gas pipeline infrastructure. This issue is becoming increasingly important, as Pennsylvania becomes a bigger player, in the exploration of natural gas. Keith Coyle – Washington, D.C.-based attorney, and Shareholder, for Babst Calland –  and, a task force member – joins Jon Delano, to discuss some of the recommendations, from that study.

Finally, it’s sad, but true, that Pennsylvania ranks near the bottom of the list, in a recent Wallet Hub survey of  companies that are “friendly” to the development and encouragement of women’s entrepreneurship. However, one local businesswoman, is bucking that trend, and she joins Jon Delano, to tell him what she’s learned, during her journey. You’ll meet Dee Barker – founder and CEO of Better Body Image Corporation, and one of her clients – Josh McIntyre – General Manager of  St. Clair Fitness, in Upper St. Clair Township. Find out, what’s so different about Dee’s business, and why she’s been able to attract vital, “seed money” support, to launch her firm.

Please join Jon Delano, Sunday morning at 6:30 a.m., for “The Sunday Business Page”, on KDKA-TV!
