Welcome to Pennsylvania Newsmakers

Governor Ed Rendell with host Terry Madonna

Pennsylvania Newsmakers is Pennsylvania's premier politics and public policy talk television show. Television programs with public policy and politics content typically have small, but qualitatively important television audiences. But in the Harrisburg/Lancaster/York/Lebanon television market --where it can be seen at 11:00 A.M. on WGAL-- Pennsylvania Newsmakers continues to maintain substantial viewership and holds a strong competitive advantage over Face The Nation, This Week, The McLaughlin Group and Bill Moyers, equals Chris Matthew's Hardball in audience, and is topped only by nation's most popular Sunday interview program, Meet The Press.

We discuss the important issues with the state's prime decision-makers and political commentators each week, focusing on policy issues and political battles that are at the top of Pennsylvania’s agenda.
