Born and raised in Northeast Philadelphia, Lachelle, 26, brings high energy into every segment. While this show’s first month hasn’t been exactly what I’d call a true look at or accurate representation of the Philadelphia the rest of us know, it is highlighted by the bubbly personality of its host, former 6ABC entertainment reporter and bona fide Philly native Aunyea Lachelle. So far, “Philly Live” has expertly taken viewers around for a look at what I’ll refer to simply as “Basic Philly.” There’s been a dance battle with Gritty at the annual Best of Philly awards gala, a tennis lesson from Billie Jean King at the Philadelphia Racquet Club to high tea and snacks at the Rittenhouse Hotel while discussing Downton Abbey. The 15-minute daily drop is a professionally packaged promotional reel that clearly caters to a certain, umm, brand of Philadelphian. Earlier this month, NBC10 partnered with Visit Philadelphia to unveil the city’s newest magazine show, “Philly Live.”
