What Is Early Word?
The Philadelphia Inquirer's experimental online "morning show", which began in Sept. 2005, went on hiatus in the summer of 2006, after a gradual shift to putting more of its content directly on Philly.com.



About the Host
Peter Mucha, husband and father of two, grew up in Cherry Hill and is a lifelong Philly sports fan. He's been writing and editing for The Inquirer for 18 years. His motto (at least for today): "If I'm not brief, give me grief."

Rendell says national guard units here lack equipment because so much has gone to Iraq and Afghanistan only to be left there. More. ...
Several Philadelphians tell about getting a home makeover by a new HGTV show. Reactions: mixed. "I don't want to seem ungrateful," said a Queen Village veterinarian, "but there are things I would not have done." Read "Magic or madness?" ... Yorktown works, residents say. The suburban-style community in North Philadelphia was an experiment in the early 1960s. "I'm surprised that it hasn't been replicated across the city," said the head of the homeowner's group. More. Architecture critic Inga Saffron casts a wary eye toward the redesign of the Clothespin plaza. Looks like the popular gathering place will become "more elegant" and "more corporate," and lose some its "circus" character. "Changing Skyline."
