Two Rivers, 30 Minutes for 11-3-2023
11-03-2023
Guests: Former congressman Ron Klink, Pittsburgh sportscaster Bill Hillgrove, Westinghouse SURE volunteer Susie Barbour, community volunteer Ric Harris
How Topic Discussed: For more than 30 years, volunteers have envisioned opening a National Museum of Broadcasting in East Pittsburgh, near the site where KDKA made its first transmissions in 1920. What is Pittsburgh's claim to being the "birthplace of broadcasting"? Why has it taken so long to bring this concept to fruition? How would such a museum benefit the Turtle Creek Valley and all of Pittsburgh? What steps remain to be done? How can the public help?
