WTAE-TV
Although it was the only ABC affiliate in the region when it signed on at the time, WTAE-TV also pre-empted and/or delayed a handful of ABC programs, most notably some of its daytime lineup from the 1960s to the late 1990s. WTAE-TV did not begin running "Good Morning America" until December 1978, and only aired an hour of the program until 1980. "One Life to Live" did not run on WTAE-TV from its 1968 debut up until 1978, when the soap opera expanded to an hour-long format. From 1969 to 1971, and again from 1974 to 1979, ABC shows that were not broadcast on channel 4 ended up airing instead on WPGH-TV. After 1980, some of these shows ran on WPTT (channel 22, now WPNT). WTAE-TV also preempted the Sunday morning ABC children's programming block the entire time ABC offered it, as well as a couple of hours of ABC's Saturday morning cartoons until 1979. WTAE-TV ran syndicated cartoons in place of the network-supplied children's programs, while the pre-empted Saturday morning network programs (including "American Bandstand") aired on WPGH during that time.
Andrew Trischitta
Trischitta first appeared in several commercials including "Ruby Tuesday" and "Ring Pop". On January 6, 2011, it was announced that Trischitta was joining the cast of the ABC Daytime soap opera "One Life to Live" as Jack Manning, replacing Carmen LoPorto. He made his debut on February 22, 2011. He was bumped on to contract status in May 2011, making the character a featured lead role for the first time on the series, and he remained on the show through the original television finale episode which aired January 12, 2012. In 2013, a year after the television finale, Trischitta reprised the role on Prospect Park's continuation of "One Life to Live" that debuted on Hulu, iTunes, and FX Canada via The Online Network April 29, 2013.
