We’ll admit that the first time we heard legendary Pittsburgh Steelers radio voice Myron Cope, we didn’t understand why he was so popular over in Western Pennsylvania. Maybe our head-scratching was compounded by the fact that the Steelers broadcast in question was being aired by Clear Channel talk WTAM/1100 in Cleveland, on a Browns bye week.
Anyway, no matter if we understood his appeal or not, Myron Cope was a broadcasting icon in Pittsburgh.
Cope died this morning at a suburban Pittsburgh nursing home at the age of 79.
And since OMW nominally covers at least parts of Western Pennsylvania near the Ohio border, we’ll add our own “RIP, Myron Cope” here…
