Inside Story
6abc-Philadelphia-11:30 a.m.
Host Matt O’Donnell and our Insiders take a look at a few of the important races happening in our region. A predictable outcome is anticipated for the Philadelphia Mayor’s Race…but what are the major issues that should be at the forefront of a new administration? The poverty rate? Education? Jobs? Plus a discussion on the contentious Montgomery County District Attorney battle and the PA Supreme Court nominees. We breakdown the new Franklin & Marshall Poll numbers that reveal who PA voters think is at fault for the budget impasse and what they want to see happen next. Plus…will a non-profit offering thousands of dollars to a random Philly voter really get people to the polls? A talk about civic engagement ensues. Catch the Inside Story.

This Sunday morning at 8:30 a.m., on KDKA-TV’s “KD/PG Sunday Edition” – with KDKA-TV News Anchor Ken Rice and John Allison – Associate Editor of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette :
The death – last week – of Susan Hicks – Assistant Director of the University of Pittsburgh’s Center for Russian and East European Studies – who was killed on her bicycle, in a traffic accident in Oakland – has focused the community’s attention on how to make our streets safer for bicyclists, pedestrians, and motorists. Can they co-exist, peacefully? How has an increase in the number of people who use bicycles in Pittsburgh for work and recreation changed the image of the city – and what can be done, to enhance the bicycling experience? Our guests include the co-founder and Executive Director of Bike Pittsburgh – Scott Bricker – and David White – Executive Director of Pittsburgh Bike Share.
