HELLERTOWN, Pa. - EntSun -- The PEAK TV, an ongoing decade-long partnership between ASR Media Productions (ASR) and St. Luke's University Health Network (SLUHN), will kick off its 22nd season on June 5, 2023. Twelve episodes will air weekly on Mondays at 6:30 PM on WFMZ - Channel 69throughout the summer, acting as viewers' Lehigh Valley source for health, community, and entertainment.

Additionally, continuing from previous seasons, season 22 will feature inspiring nonprofit spotlights and informative health stories and tips from SLUHN physical therapists and pediatric experts.

Hosted by Holly Harrar, director of content & social at Discover Lehigh Valley, the PEAK at the Valley segments will showcase attractions around the region, like hiking trails, ice cream shops, picnic spots, and more. It will inspire viewers to familiarize themselves and visit more of the Lehigh Valley.

"I am excited to continue our partnership with The PEAK TV with PEAK at the Valley," says Harrar. "Summer is the perfect time to explore Lehigh Valley and engage with places you might drive by daily. It's a privilege to show off these special spots and help Lehigh Valley natives create new experiences."

Hosted by author Chaz Hayden, Front Row with Chaz, the newest addition to The PEAK TV's season 22, will highlight accessibility at various locations throughout the Lehigh Valley. Hayden, born with a disability called spinal muscular atrophy, has experience exploring the Lehigh Valley with his wheelchair.

"I'll be taking viewers behind the scenes at different venues, events, and businesses in the segment, Front Row with Chaz, and will call out accessibility in the Lehigh Valley," says Hayden. "People with disabilities often don't venture out because we don't always know what's accessible or if we can have a good experience. I'm excited to shine a spotlight on the Lehigh Valley spots that have put in the work to allow everyone to enjoy their space."

The new season will also feature a reworked iteration of Voices of the Valley, hosted by ASR's very own Sara Viteri. The new version will feature Viteri diving deep with Lehigh Valley business owners, discussing their work, products, services, and more.

"Sara is the perfect fit for our new Voices of the Valley segment," says Ashley Russo, host of The PEAK TV and president and owner of ASR. "Her impressive hosting experience shows on camera, and her excitement about the Lehigh Valley translates to viewers, encouraging their enthusiasm, too."

After their initial airing, each episode will be posted on YouTube and The PEAK TV's website for future viewing.
