The Pittsburgh Steelers will have a new voice behind the microphone for the 2024 NFL season. They've officially tapped Rob King to take the place of Bill Hillgrove, who announced his retirement.
King has served as a member of the Steelers Audio Network pre-game broadcast for the last 10 years, and he'll team up with commentator Craig Wolfley.
"We are very excited to announce Rob King will be the new play-by-play broadcaster for the Steelers beginning this season after the retirement of long-time broadcaster, Bill Hillgrove, earlier this year," said Steelers team president Art Rooney II. "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."
King expressed his gratitude to the organization for the opportunity in a statement of his own:
"The Steelers hold a special place in this community and across the country," said King. "I am thankful to Art Rooney II, the Steelers and iHeartMedia for giving me this incredible opportunity to be a meaningful part of one of the greatest organizations in professional sports. I look forward to getting started, doing the job well and bringing the enthusiasm of the games to people around the world. I could not be more excited."
