Bill Hillgrove, the iconic voice of the Pittsburgh Steelers, retired after last season, leaving a massive void to fill as the Steelers’ play-by-play announcer. Hillgrove called games for three decades, working alongside fellow Pittsburgh legend Myron Cope for 14 years, and calling four Super Bowls, including both the 2005 and 2008 Super Bowl wins.
Ray Fittipaldo, Steelers beat writer for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, believes that Pittsburgh sportscaster Rob King could be a prime candidate for the open job.
In his weekly Q&A chat, Fittipaldo said “Rob King is a name to watch,” when asked who might serve as the next play-by-play announcer for the Steelers.
