Broadcasting the Local News: The Early Years of Pittsburgh's KDKA-TV

'Broadcasting the Local News' is a colorful history of one of the first television stations in America to offer local news programs. That station--KDKA-TV--literally invented television news in Pittsburgh. Unlike many television stations in the United States, KDKA (which first went on the air in 1949 as WDTV) treated news seriously from day one. Its first regular program was a local news show called ""Pitt Parade"." Today KDKA is still highly regarded among journalists for its news programming.
