Towel day for Cope

February 29, 2008 Off By Jason

Buckhead and Bubba of “B94” WBZW-FM (93.7) are asking Pittsburghers to remember the late Myron Cope today by attending a rally on the steps of the City-County Building, Grant Street, Downtown.

The morning show hosts will join Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl at 12 noon.

Instead of silence, a “moment of cheering” will be held for Cope. All visitors are asked to bring their “Terrible Towels” and wave them in Cope’s honor.

The longtime Steelers color analyst and former WTAE radio/TV personality died Wednesday at age 79.

The CBS radio CHR station has also created an audio tribute to Cope. A montage of Cope soundbites spliced together with Chris Daughtry’s “Home,” it can be heard on B94’s website.
