Jennifer Antkowiak Returns to Pittsburgh Television

Jennifer Antkowiak has captivated Pittsburgh audiences for years. This Oil City, Pennsylvania, native initially won the hearts of viewers, and her future husband, in Erie, where her career began.

It wasn't long before Jennifer's magnetism attracted KDKA-TV 2 in Pittsburgh. In 1993, Jennifer joined the station and began what would become a remarkable career. The combination of Jennifer's "one of the family" persona and her sincerity formed an powerful bond with audiences. She quickly rose beyond celebrity status to that of an icon.

It was a sad day when Jennifer decided to leave her news career. Although it was hard to walk away from her TV home, colleagues, and fans, it was time for her to say goodbye. The chance to spend more time with her family, something she had always wanted, finally materialized.

In the spring of 2006, Jennifer took on the role of public relations director for fitness guru Leslie Sansone. The two women bonded so well that Jennifer's family is featured in Leslie's Family Walk DVD. Despite her absence from television, the fans never forgot Jennifer, and she never forgot them.

In the summer of 2007 came the news that many had waited to hear. Jennifer was returning to television. Although she loved her position within Leslie's organization, Jennifer was offered an opportunity that she couldn't resist - her own talk show.

The idea appealed to her reporter side, but sealing the deal was the fact that she would have total control over her schedule and the format. The show was a perfect fit for Jennifer. How could she refuse?

In August 2007, jennifer Productions, a company Jennifer founded, began taping "jennifer" for it's debut in the fall line-up on WTAE-TV Channel 4. The show airs every Sunday at 11:00 a.m. with several specials slated throughout the year.
