KDKA-TV and the Pittsburgh Steelers announced on Wednesday a partnership extension, ensuring KDKA-TV remains the home of Pittsburgh Steelers through the 2027 season.

KDKA-TV and KDKA+, in collaboration with the Steelers, retain exclusive rights to air all pre-season games. This includes supplementary programming such as The Steelers Draft Show, The Steelers Training Camp Show, Steelers Kickoff Pregame Show, Steelers Extra Point Post Game Show, Steelers Weekly Wrap-up, The Mike Tomlin Press Conference, among others.

"We are thrilled to continue our partnership with the Pittsburgh Steelers to bring preseason football to the people of Southwestern Pennsylvania," said KDKA-TV president and general manager Chris Cotugno.

"It is such an honor to play a role in one of our region's proudest traditions, Pittsburgh Steelers football," stated Bob Pompeani, longtime KDKA-TV sports anchor. "And I could not be more excited to continue bringing preseason Steelers games to the fans through the 2027 season and hopefully far into the future."

Pompeani has been part of the broadcast team since the first preseason game televised on KDKA-TV in 1998. He serves as play-by-play announcer alongside Charlie Batch as color commentator. Missi Matthews covers sidelines while A.J. Ross and Max Starks handle pre- and post-game show duties.

"We are excited to announce the continuation of our longstanding partnership with KDKA-TV," remarked Ryan Huzjak, Steelers Vice President of Sales & Marketing. "This new agreement will extend our relationship to 29 consecutive seasons broadcasting preseason games, pre- and post-game shows, and providing comprehensive year-round Steelers coverage to our fans throughout the region."
