At one time, KDKA was the powerhouse of the AM and TV airways in Pittsburgh. It sank about thirty years ago. The AM station was spun off. The TV station has gone through changes in its management.

As a side note, I will mention that all three Pittsburgh TV stations raked in boocoo bucks from McCormick Senate campaign interests during the 2024 election cycle. Too many Western Pennsylvania voters fell for the for Putin-funded TV and yard sign propaganda.
