Kelly Clarkson moves to WTAE-TV; “Karamo” debuts on WPGH-TV; Jennifer Hudson’s talk show will be in late-night on WTAE and Sherri Shepherd’s new show comes to WPXI-TV.

In this episode of the “Pittsburgh Pop” podcast, host Tim Benz and TV Talk columnist Rob Owen discuss Pittsburgh pop culture news of the moment, including a raft of changes to local stations’ daytime TV schedules in the coming weeks.

Benz and Owen talk ratings for the final Steelers preseason game and what the large tune-in might mean for regular season games.

Owen offers his take on Amazon’s “Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” and the second-season finale of “Only Murders in the Building” (no spoilers).
