Question for Pittsburghers: was John Shumway always your corny grandpa? #pittsburgh #kdka

It’s a #TomlinTuesday as @[email protected] get ready for a Bengals rematch on Sunday on @[email protected].

Steelers need fixes to the offensive problems which really hurt them in LA. Join me and ⁦@[email protected]⁩ at NOON at #KDKA+

On this day in 1920, KDKA in Pittsburgh began regular broadcasting. It is considered by many to be the start of commercial radio broadcasting in the U.S,

Here's a cartoon I did for CQ Magazine in November 2020:

We have two #broadcast anniversaries on #ThisDayInHistory:
In 1920, #KDKA in Pittsburgh launched as the first commercial radio station.
In 1936, #BBCOne in London launched as the first high-def (then considered 200 lines!) television station. Both continue to operate to this day.

It’s that time of year. The first #TomlinTuesday of the 2025 season. Steelers at Jets Sunday on ⁦@[email protected]⁩

Join ⁦@[email protected]⁩ and me for today’s press conference at NOON #KDKA+ and @[email protected] digital platforms

Armed soldiers on the streets of Pittsburgh? Good idea or not? Rob Pratte is just asking questions

When leaving to look at the new Bloop building, someone hit the button at #NationalElectronicsMuseum to listen to the first commercial radio broadcast.

As we get some car repairs to head to #VCFEast tomorrow, #KDKA is on the TV here running #CBSmorning

Surreal, but also very cool to think of 105 years of broadcast history. ☺

Join me tonight 10:35 #KDKA+ for the #IrelandContracting Nightly Sports Call and give me your thoughts about the Super Bowl and upcoming off season

Also tonight 11:35 LIVE @[email protected] Sports Showdown with @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected]

Had a great time today attending the #Pittsburgh Today Live broadcast. Their whole crew are pure class. Always great to raise money for the food bank as well! Great cause. #PTL #kdka #AhoyPTL
