Daily News Live is a live sports oriented talk show airing weeknights from 5:00PM to 6:30PM EST on Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia. On days with early prime time games, the show is often truncated. The show features long-time SportNet Philadelphia employee Michael Barkann joined by a rotating panel of writers from the Philadelphia Daily News for a roundtable discussion about the "Top Five at Five" - the top sports stories from both the city and the nation. On game days, guest interviewers are also brought into the fold, shedding light on the night's big game. The show, though, is not limited to input from the day's panelists, as viewers are free to e-mail the show using the form at the homepage with the possibility of having their e-mail being mentioned or even discussed on the show.
The show debuted on October 1, 1997 with Michael Barkann, Bill Conlin, Les Bowen, and Jack L. Williams, chairman of Comcast SportsNet.[1]
The success of Daily New Live resulted in the development of similar shows in other Comcast SportsNet sister stations. These include Chicago Tribune Live on Comcast SportsNet Chicago, Comcast SportsNet Insider on Comcast SportsNet West, Daily News Live on SportsNet New York, and Washington Post Live on Comcast SportsNet Mid-Atlantic.
