In this episode of the “Pittsburgh Pop” podcast, host Tim Benz and TV Talk columnist Rob Owen discuss Pittsburgh pop culture news of the moment, including the revival of WPXI-TV’s “Chiller Theater”, WTAE-TV going off DISH Network, the possibility of the Pirates ending up on SportsNet Pittsburgh after all and local stations’ daytime TV programming changes for fall, including a new TV home for “The Drew Barrymore Show,” which came under fire this weekend for producing new episodes without its WGA writers.

Benz and Owen discuss Warner Bros. Discovery’s plans to add sports to subscription streaming service Max.

Owen reviews the new series “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon,” overseen in part by McCandless native Greg Nicotero.
