Steelers Team President Art Rooney II said, “Rob has done a great job in his 25-year career in the Pittsburgh market and is very respected among his peers in the business. We are excited for Steelers Nation to hear his unique perspective and excitement of making our fans feel they are in the stadium witnessing the action on the field. He has big shoes to fill with the legendary broadcasters that have come before him, but we are thrilled to have Rob step into his new role to bring Steelers football to our fans across the world.”

Tim McAleer, Market President, iHeartMedia Pittsburgh, commented, “Rob King has been a key part of our Steelers gameday broadcast team for over a decade. We are thrilled for him to bring his passion for game calling into the booth and create an exciting radio broadcast for our audiences.”
