WPIX New York Launches ‘Dr. Steve’

On April 17, Tribune CW affiliate WPIX New York will launch Dr. Steve, a 30-minute health, wellness and lifestyle program for families.

Dr. Steve will feature a mix of wellness topics including fitness and nutrition experts, kitchen nutrition makeovers, gadget and product reviews, children’s health and topical parenting issues. The show will also feature a roundtable discussion with mothers in the community and profiles of “everyday heroes—ordinary people overcoming extraordinary obstacles.”
