After 30 seasons working as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ radio announcer, Bill Hillgrove announced on Thursday that he will be stepping down from the position.
“It was not an easy decision,” Hillgrove said, via the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “The more it was discussed, especially with the family, it became easier. When it’s time, it’s time.”
This is not a full retirement from radio, though, as the 83-year-old still intends on calling at least one more season of Pitt football and basketball, a job he’s been doing for almost 51 years.
