Capital Tonight, which appears on Time Warner Cable stations in upstate New York, is going from a half hour to an hour. The show is the only nightly, live, statewide political program.
Hosted by Brian Taffe and started two and a half years ago, the show is seen on Capital News 9 in the Capital region, on News10Now in central New York and the Southern Tier and North Country and on RNews in western New York. It is shown at 8 p.m. and then rebroadcast at 11:30 p.m.
The show, in a statement today, said the expansion from a half hour to an hour-long program “allows Capital Tonight to maintain its comprehensive news coverage and devote more time to the in-depth interviews, debates and discussions that have become the show’s hallmark.”
