Inside Story

6abc-Philadelphia-11:30 a.m.

Host Monica Malpass and the Insiders discuss the tone and takeaway from the Republican National Convention. Did Republican Nominee Donald Trump expand his base with his speech?  And how did NJ Governor Chris Christie’s speech resonate? We look towards the Democratic National Convention opening in Philadelphia which puts the spotlight on Hillary Clinton’s messaging. FiveThirtyEight.com states PA is leaning towards Clinton, but is that misleading so early in the cycle. Other topics include the PA Budget putting a 40% tax on vaping with no tax for cigars, the city going on a hiring blitz with the ‘anticipated’ Sugary Beverage Tax and opinions on the Philadelphia Fraternal Order of Police calling the Black Lives Matter Movement a ‘terrorist group’.

Journalists Roundtable

PCN-Thursday-7:00 p.m. (Rerun Sunday-9:00 p.m.)

Journalists Roundtable comes to you this week from Cleveland, OH, home of the 2016 Republican National Convention. The four-day convention featured some surprises, such as Ted Cruz’s speech receiving some boos as he failed to endorse Donald Trump just as the presidential nominee was entering the convention hall, yet he was invited to speak at the convention. Also the notable was the absence of some key players, such as Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Pennsylvania Sen. Pat Toomey. Breaking down what it’s like to cover a convention are this week’s guests: Dennis Owens, Anchor and State Capitol Reporter with ABC27 News; John Micek, Editorial & Opinions Page Editor with Pennlive & The Patriot-News, and Jonathan Tamari, Washington Correspondent with the Philadelphia Inquirer, Our host this week is Larry Kaspar.

This Sunday morning at 11:30 a.m., on KDKA-TV’s “KD/PG Sunday Edition” – with KDKA-TV News Anchor Ken Rice and John Allison – Editorial Page Editor of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:

On this week’s broadcast – reflections on the Republican National Convention, in Cleveland, and the nominations of Donald J. Trump and Indiana Governor Mike Pence – for President and Vice-President. We’ll talk with the Lou Mavrakis – the Democratic Mayor of Monessen, Pennsylvania, Westmoreland County – who put that town back on the map, when he asked the Donald Trump to visit his town. Trump delivered a major policy speech about U.S. foreign trade policy, at a site, where a steel mill once stood. Mavrakis says Trump’s visit doesn’t necessarily mean that he will vote for Trump. We’ll ask him whether the Monongahela Valley voters – once a Democratic stronghold – could help Donald J. Trump and Republicans carry Pennsylvania, in the November election. We’ll also hear from Jim Roddey, former Allegheny County Executive and  former Chairman of the Allegheny County Republican Committee, and a supporter of Florida U.S. Senator Marco Rubio’s failed Presidential campaign – about Donald J. Trump’s performance, at the G.O.P. National Convention – and prospects for the Republican ticket, in the fall.

Please join Ken Rice and John Allison, for the “KD/PG Sunday Edition”, right after CBS’ “Face the Nation”, Sunday morning at 11:30 a.m., on KDKA-TV.
