“In Pittsburgh, there aren’t many traditions more engrained in our community than the Pirates on The Fan and KDKA,” said Michael Spacciapolli, Senior Vice President and Market Manager, Audacy Pittsburgh.
“We are honored to continue to tell the story of this team for many many years to come as they chase another World Series title for our city.”
“Our relationship with KDKA is like no other in sports,” said Travis Williams, Pittsburgh Pirates President. “Starting with the first baseball game to ever be broadcast, KDKA and the Pirates have been synonymous with each other.
We are thrilled that the tradition will continue and be expanded upon across the cluster of Audacy Pittsburgh stations.”
