Did you know Pennsylvania law requires you to call 811 at least three business days before you dig? That’s not just for contractors and big projects. Even homeowners working on simple projects like a new mailbox or expanding your garden need to call 811 before they dig. It’s simple, it’s free for you as a homeowner or renter, and it’s the law!

Question of the Day: What PTL cast member would you want to be?

(10:26) Krista Kelley, Lead Producer & Producer Teddy Stevenson of PTL are giving us a behind the scenes look of one of Pittsburgh’s most popular TV shows. Krista is a sports legend with a career covering the Olympics to the Daytona 500. She’s gone from NCAA tournaments to the NFL and more and now she’s helping share Pittsburgh stories all throughout Western PA homes. Teddy talks about his time working with popular reality shows like Selling Sunset, The Hills, The City and more. Plus, he tells us about that time he had to get a grand piano airlifted onto a mountain in Malibu in less than 24 hours notice, for Justin Bieber. No big whoop, right? Both are a huge reason why PTL is such an amazing locally produced TV show.
(29:00) Emmy Award winner, fellow Golden Quill Winner and videographer for KDKA, Jeff Roupe & Sean Collier (Pittsburgh Magazine’s PM Film Editor, movie critic, Golden Quill Winner and comedian) are teaming up like a top wrestling duo to take on John & Rachael. Really, Jeff shares the dynamics of live TV, getting the most out of guests on-air and how he’s basically the ‘den dad’ of PTL. Sean covers film and highlights his time on the stage as a comedian, how he helps the up-and-comers and the new projects he’s working on. Find Jeff on Twitter @kdka2vidguy and find Sean Collier across socials @SeanCollerPGH
