The House Select Committee investigating the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol has begun a series of public hearings.
They say their goal is to investigate what led to the riot, whether the attackers were coordinated, and why law enforcement failed to stop the breach of the Capitol.
You will have the ability to watch and listen to the hearings with live coverage and expert analysis of each of the January 6th committee’s public hearings on WITF television, radio and streaming through our website (audio stream here, video stream here).

Additional hearings are scheduled for the week of June 20. Timing is still to be determined. We will update once we learn more information.
Language Advisory
As with this week’s Congressional proceedings regarding the events of January 6, we expect future hearings to include video of the attack on the U.S. Capitol. NPR and PBS do not have advance details of what will be in these videos. However, past video has been full of depictions of the attack itself; including violent clashes, loud noises, shouting and profane language. Hosts and correspondents will advise listeners and viewers of the content of these recordings ahead of and during playback. NPR and PBS will not silence or bleep the playback of these recordings, as they are a part of the historic record in these Congressional hearings.
PBS Kids Programming
On June 13 and June 15, special coverage is slated to begin at 10am which is before we normally end our daily broadcast of children’s programming. Families are encouraged to watch PBS Kids 24/7 on WITFK 33.2 or through the PBS Kids Video app to continue viewing PBS Kids programming.
Sometimes, your mornings are just too busy to catch the news beyond a headline or two. Don’t worry. The Morning Agenda has got your back. Each weekday morning, host Tim Lambert will keep you informed, amused, enlightened and up-to-date on what’s happening in central Pennsylvania and the rest of this great commonwealth.
