Philly Radio: Newsradio KYW To Air Primary Debate

Audacy’s KYW Newsradio (103.9 FM and 1060 AM) will host a primary debate moderated by award-winning anchor Ian Bush leading up to the Pennsylvania Attorney General election. Democrats Keir Bradford-Grey, Eugene DePasquale, Joe Kahn, Jared Solomon and Jack Stollsteimer will face each other live on April 17 from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. ET during KYW Newsradio’s highly-rated “Philadelphia's Morning News with Ian Bush & Carol MacKenzie.”

All candidates will be on stage in the KYW Newsradio studio space, except DePasquale, who will join remotely via Zoom.

“We're proud that KYW Newsradio continues to be the place for comprehensive coverage of Pennsylvania politics, especially in such a crucial election year,” said Kristina Koppeser, Brand Manager, KYW Newsradio. “Giving voters details on candidates and their platforms is a vital part of our mission to inform.”

The debate will consist of opening statements from candidates and blocks of questions on various public interest topics, including a lightning round of rapid response yes/no answers.

This broadcast follows KYW Newsradio’s mayoral debate in the fall between Democratic nominee Cherelle Parker and Republican nominee David Oh. Community Impact Reporter Racquel Williams will be returning for this event alongside Suburban Bureau Chief Jim Melwert.

KYW Newsradio invited GOP candidates Craig Williams and David Sunday to a separate live debate. Williams accepted, while Sunday, the GOP-endorsed candidate, declined.
