Stan Savran, a titan of the Pittsburgh sports media industry, died Monday evening at his home. He was 76.
For decades, Savran served as one of the voices of Pittsburgh sports. His career in the city began in 1976 working for WWSM-AM. He soon transitioned to TV and became an icon, working on TV, in radio, and newspaper.
He was best known for hosting Sportsbeat, first with co-host Guy Junker before becoming the sole face of the show. In his nearly 18 years there, it became the longest sports show in Pittsburgh television history. His work in Pittsburgh is almost too numerous to list.
