History

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. That partnership existed between WPXI and Comcast. Comcast stopped carrying PCNC on January 1, 2020.[2]

Since 1996, PCNC has produced the local prime time talk show "Night Talk", featuring one-on-one interviews of local newsmakers. It is currently hosted by Beaver County sports hall-of-fame broadcaster Ellis Cannon.[3] Other shows aired on the channel include "Pittsburgh Now"; "Our Region's Business", hosted by Bill Flanagan of the Allegheny Conference;[4] and local newscasts multiple times per day with reporting from WPXI.
