PITTSBURGH, PA — The Steelers have announced a new radio color commentator for their radio broadcasts following the recent death of Craig Wolfley, who died in March following a brief battle with cancer.

Former Steelers lineman Max Starks, who has served as a sideline analyst on broadcasts sine 2021, will be the new number two man in the broadcast booth. He will join play-by-play announcer Rob King.

Missi Matthews will continue to report from the sidelines on game days.

King and Starks also will co-host "In The Locker Room, Presented by Neighborhood Ford Store." The in-season program airs 10 a.m.-Noon, Monday-Friday, on Steelers Nation Radio and on FOX Sports

"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, which owns WDVE-FM, the Steelers' radio anchor station.

"Max brings a championship mindset, deep football knowledge, and an authentic connection with Steelers Nation. His transition from the sideline to the booth is a natural progression, and we're confident that fans will love the insight and energy he brings to every broadcast. This is another
exciting chapter in our longstanding partnership with the Steelers, delivering world-class game day coverage to Pittsburgh and beyond."

Said Starks: "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."
