The Pittsburgh Cable News Channel (PCNC) is a cable news channel and digital subchannelofWPXI serving the Western Pennsylvania area. It is owned by Cox Media Group. PCNC simulcasts or replays much of WPXI's programming. It continues to produce two original talk shows, "Pittsburgh Now" and "Night Talk", along with local news and regional business news.[1][2]

History

[edit]

PCNC first started broadcasting on January 1, 1994, created in a partnership between WPXI (Channel 11) and the region's largest cable TV company at the time, TCI. Comcast (Xfinity) stopped carrying PCNC on January 1, 2020,[2] greatly reducing the viewing audience. WPXI added PCNC to its digital subchannel lineup in early March 2023.[3]

From 1996-2023, PCNC produced the local prime time talk show "Night Talk", featuring one-on-one interviews of local newsmakers. It was last currently hosted by Beaver County sports hall-of-fame broadcaster Ellis Cannon.[4] Other shows aired on the channel included "Pittsburgh Now"; "Our Region's Business", hosted by Bill Flanagan (not to be confused with radio and TV host Bill Flanagan) of the Allegheny Conference;[5] and local newscasts multiple times per day with reporting from WPXI.
