It was shot at a studio that used to be at the corner of Ross and The Blvd. of the Allies. Place was originally a photo/design studio that morphed into audio/video. The video side was run by David Case, who left to start PMI. They had a small insert stage and all this was shot there against a white cyc. The film crew was from Cleveland. The ad agency was GBL. KDKA Creative Director was Barbara Ley (Klauscher)
This would be the cur for my mom to switch to 'Another World' and then back to KD at 3 for 'Guiding Light,' at least until P2D would move to 1:30 in its final days and 'Bold and the Beautiful' sliding briefly to 2:30.
Do you know the names of the original co-host? I used to go downtown to sit in the audience of this show, but I can't remember co-host name. I do remember that Dennis Miller was our audience warm-up guy.

@baseballalx4 Had to look it up on Google to get all the names.
First: Ed Malley, second: Wayne Van Dine, third: John Wade, last: Jon Burnett
(Jon of course is now a weather reader at the station).
I don't remember Ed at all (probably before I moved to Pittsburgh in 1982). I remember John Wade briefly before they put Jon with her.

A really great show open. Barb's beautiful eye. Mite the "cat of cats." Shot on film at the old Gateway Studios. Still holds up pretty well :-)

@algielongworth It's a shame that they don't have anything like this on TV these days :(

@algielongworth What do you mean old Gateway Studios? KDKA is still located there in Downtown Pittsburgh since the mid-1950s!

@MrMichaelChua I think he meant a film studio? I know that KDKA-AM recently moved out of Gateway Center though, maybe he meant that?

Thanks for posting, it seems like 1000 years since I've seen this!

You're welcome. I have the entire show and may post it to YouTube if there is enough interest. (leave me a message if you want to see more)

I agree. She still looks good now as she did back in 1985.
