25 Years…
October 20, 2023A few months ago, I thought about doing a big “to-do” on this October 21. Perhaps a live YouTube program? Maybe a pre-recorded podcast? I even sent out a press release to some outlets in the off-… make that the very off-… no, the LIKELY off-chance they were looking for some good news to report!
Be that as it may, with as busy as I have been lately, I now think it best to let the banner on top of the main page do the talking. When I started this website years ago I hadn’t yet lived for 25 years (I was a couple months from turning 22.) I had no idea what I was doing, but somehow it worked out and as a result I’ve come to know many of you at least through email or social media, and a few more of you in-person. I am grateful for such connections.
This business that we love has changed dramatically throughout the last 25 years and very rapidly. As we celebrate the first quarter century of this website over the next several months, I look forward to continuing to explore the future while celebrating the past with you for years to come!
Here’s to the next 25!

Congratulations and thanks Eric! Dramatic changes in the last 25 years. I can’t imagine what changes there will be in the next 25.
Eric, Pittsburgh radio made an incredible impact on my life. I was only there for a total of 4 years, but I fell in love with the energy, the commitment and the people of “The ‘Burgh”, not to mention Beto’s subs and Pizza. Congratulations on making it this far..keep up the great work and thanks for keeping those of us who are far away up to date. Long live the memories of Don Bombard, Chuck Brinkman, O’Brien and Garry, 13Q, 96KX, WTAE (AM) -and many more.
Eric, THANK YOU for keeping everybody up to date with the news for our part of the state. I am sure that it is not an easy task to juggle.
Thank you, Eric, for the great service to us Pixbergers…and keeping us in ALL the loops!
God Bless! Fr. Bob. Memories of Knucklehead and Pondscum…
Amen.
Congratulations on 25 years Eric!
Thank you for your service. Although I’ve lived in Harrisburg for 42 years since moving from the state of Indiana, I’ve always enjoyed the rich history of Pittsburgh area broadcasting. Thanks for keeping this history alive!
