iHeartMedia Pittsburgh has announced a change to the Steelers Audio Network broadcast team. Former lineman and two-time Super Bowl champion Max Starks will become the new color commentator for game day broadcasts.
Starks, who has been part of the broadcast team since 2021, moves from his role as sideline analyst to join play-by-play host Rob King in the booth. Missi Mathews will continue her reporting from the sidelines.
King and Starks will also co-host “In The Locker Room, Presented by Neighborhood Ford Store,” airing weekdays on Steelers Nation Radio and FOX Sports Pittsburgh (970AM).
“We’re thrilled to elevate Max Starks into the broadcast booth as the new color commentator for the Steelers Audio Network,” said Bobbie Loesch, Market President for iHeartMedia Pittsburgh. “Max brings a championship mindset, deep football knowledge, and an authentic connection with Steelers Nation.”
“I am honored to move from the sidelines into the booth for our game day broadcasts. Thanks to Art Rooney II, the Steelers organization and iHeartMedia for the opportunity,” said Starks.
iHeartMedia is a leading media outlet in Pittsburgh with multiple platforms including its digital music service iHeartRadio. The Steelers Audio Network offers game day broadcasts and other programs across various platforms such as 102.5 WDVE, Fox Sports Pittsburgh (970AM), and online apps.
