After rotating through a number of top-of-show hosts in recent months, KDKA-TV has settled on a co-host for Heather Abraham on “Talk Pittsburgh” (3 p.m. weekdays).
Beginning Monday, Abraham will be joined by Mikey Hood (“Pittsburgh Today Live”) and Kelly Dzanaj, on-air personality at Star 100.7 FM.
Boaz Frankel, who has made some appearances on “PTL,” will become a correspondent for “Talk Pittsburgh.” Hood will also offer some on-location reporting.

In a statement, KDKA general manager Chris Cotugno said adding resources to the program is designed to “take the show to the next level.”
In addition to a new talent lineup, “Talk Pittsburgh” will feature a refreshed logo, graphics and show open.
