Stan Savran (born Stanley George Savransky on February 25, 1947 in Cleveland, Ohio) is an American sports media personality based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.[1][2] He is a member of the Western Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame and a member of the Pittsburgh Pirates Media Wall of Fame.[3][4]
Current work[edit]
Savran is best known for his time on Fox Sports Net Pittsburgh, where he co-hosted a talk show with Guy Junker, 'Stan Savran and Guy Junker on Sportsbeat.' His twitter handle (@StanLoveTheShow) is based on the greeting given him during his time hosting Sportsbeat, 'Stan, Guy, love the show.'[5]
Savran has been working for Fox Sports Pittsburgh since 1991, when it was known as KBL. For 17 years, he was the host/co-host of Savran on Sportsbeat, shown weeknights from 6:30–7:30 pm on Fox Sports Pittsburgh. Sportsbeat was the longest running sports show in Pittsburgh television history.
It was announced July 7, 2009, via Bob Smizik's online blog on postgazette.com, that Savran on Sportsbeat was cancelled by FSN Pittsburgh and Stan Savran's future with the station was up in the air. However, it was announced on July 11, 2009 that Stan Savran agreed to a new contract with FSN. As a result, Savran will be the primary host for Penguins and Pirates pregame shows and also will continue to be the host of the Mike Tomlin Press Conference and The Mike Tomlin Show. A special 2 hour series finale of Sportsbeat aired on Monday July 13, 2009.
Savran on Sportsbeat was considered a lifeline to Pittsburgh natives who had scattered throughout the country – a way to touch base and get the news and opinions regarding Pittsburgh sports. The show had a regular run of guests, including Mr. Monday Night, Former Steelers tackle Tunch Ilkin, Steelers defensive back Ike Taylor, Pittsburgh Penguins forward Max Talbot and fantasy football expert Duane Cahill.
From 2001 to 2006, Savran was heard 3–6 pm weekdays on Fox Sports Radio 970, WBGG (AM). His radio show was canceled on July 7, 2006, due to changing styles in radio.
On August 4, 2008, Savran teamed up once again with Junker. Their show was aired ESPN Radio 1250AM WEAE, in the 10:00 am – 2:00 pm time slot until 2010.
On September 24, 2010 ESPN Radio 1250 announced that they would be switching to Radio Disney and would cease carrying local personalities on their station. However, as of October 2010, Savran is back on 970 AM as part of the station switching to ESPN Radio. His current show, Savran on Sports, can be heard in the 12:00 – 2:00 pm time slot.
Career history[edit]
Savran worked at a number of radio jobs after graduating from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. His stops included Columbus, Lawton, OK and Orlando, FL, where he called play-by-play in the World Football League in 1974-75. Savran came to Pittsburgh in January 1976 by responding to a 'blind' ad for a radio sportscaster in the classified section of Broadcasting magazine.
His first on-air job in Pittsburgh was at for WWSW-AM. When WWSW changed formats in 1979, he moved to KQV.
From 1981–1991, he was an everyday sports reporter, both from the news desk and on location, for WTAE-TV. He also hosted an 8-9 pm talk show on WTAE Radio, now WPGP. Savran earned such praise for his patience, knowledge, and style that a local newspaper columnist retrospectively referred to the pairing of that show and Myron Cope's show in the 6-8 pm timeslot as 'the Golden Era of Pittsburgh sports talk.'[6] Savran left for KBL/Fox Sports Net after a dispute with management.

Michael Darrow[1]Greenberg (born August 6, 1967) is a television anchor, television show host, former radio show host for ESPN and ABC, and novelist. At ESPN, he hosted the weekday evening, most often Monday, SportsCenter and previously ESPN Radio's Mike & Mike show with Mike Golic. At sister network ABC, he was the host of Duel, which aired from 2007 to 2008. He also co-hosts Battle of the Network Stars with Joe Tessitore.
Early life and career[edit]
Greenberg was born to a Jewish[2] family in New York, New York, and graduated from Stuyvesant High School in 1985. In 1989, Greenberg graduated from Northwestern University,[3] where he joined the Theta Chi Fraternity, and started work as a sports anchor and reporter at WMAQ-AM in Chicago. He left WMAQ in 1992 to work for WSCR-Radio as a reporter (covering events such as the World Series and the Super Bowl) and talk show host. From 1993 to 1995, he also wrote a weekly syndicated column for the California-based Copley News Service. In 1994, he added reporting for SportsChannel Chicago to his résumé. In 1995, he left SportsChannel Chicago to work at CLTV, becoming an anchor, reporter, and host of a live call-in show. He left Chicago in September 1996 for ESPN, where he became one of the first hosts[3] of ESPNEWS when it began broadcasting in November of that year.

ESPN career (1996–present)[edit]
In 1999, with ESPN Radio airing in just four markets, Mike Greenberg was approached about returning to radio to be a part of a morning drive-time show with Mike Golic as co-host. Greenberg agreed, with the understanding that he would continue anchoring SportsCenter on a regular basis. On April 26, 2004, the show started a regular simulcast on ESPNEWS.[4] Because of their continued success, the duo moved to ESPN2 in January 2005.[4]
One of the most popular segments of the entire year on Mike & Mike was the annual 'Sheet of Integrity' wager, a bracket wager based on the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament and the massive ESPN.com bracket contest. The bet originated after Golic told of how he would enter a massive number of sheets into different pools to win the money involved in the pool. Greenberg, believing picks required a sort of integrity, insisted that any such entrant be required to enter only one 'Sheet of Integrity'. Golic would select one of his (presumably) dozens of sheets against Greenberg, with the loser having to perform a humiliating stunt, usually on the air. The first year, Greenberg won and Golic had to have an eyebrow wax on the air. The next two years, Golic won, and Greenberg had to wear the University of Notre Dame Leprechaun mascot costume on the air, the second time on the Notre Dame campus. In the 2007 competition Greenberg, an admitted die-hard New York Jets' fan, agreed to wear a New England Patriots' jersey to a Jets' game and to milk a cow live on-air. Greenberg received advice about milking a cow from ESPN baseball analyst Buster Olney, who grew up on a dairy farm.
Mike Greenberg's final day as co-host of the Mike & Mike program was November 17, 2017. On November 27, Trey Wingo, host of NFL Live and ESPN's SportsCenter, became Golic's new morning show co-host, and the duo are now part of Mike & Mike's successor show, Golic and Wingo.[5] Greenberg joined a new ESPN morning show, Get Up!, which premiered April 2, 2018.[6]
Other television[edit]

Greenberg hosted the ABCgame showDuel.[7] The first season of the show, a week-long six-episode special, premiered on December 17, 2007, and ended on December 23, 2007. The show was renewed, and premiered its second season (consisting of ten episodes) on April 4, 2008; the show's sixteenth and final episode aired on July 30.
On February 20, 2008, Greenberg appeared, along with his radio partner Mike Golic, on the soap opera Guiding Light[8] as reported on ESPNradio.com.
On April 18, 2012, Greenberg co-hosted Live! with Kelly.[9]
Books[edit]
Espn Am Radio
On March 7, 2006, Greenberg released his first book entitled Why My Wife Thinks I'm An Idiot: The Life and Times of a Sportscaster Dad, which reached 14th on the New York Times Bestseller list and was nominated in the 2006 Quill Awards for best sports book.[10] In April 2010, Greenberg, along with co-host Mike Golic, released a book entitled Mike and Mike's Rules for Sports and Life. Along with the release, the two Mikes embarked on a 15-city book tour that included stops in New York City, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Dallas, Boston, and Tampa. Greenberg released a novel entitled All You Could Ask For in 2013.[11] He released the novel My Father's Wives in January 2015.
Racist slur on MLK day[edit]
Greenberg drew considerable outrage when he, as he says accidentally, blurted out a slur and possibly corrected himself by saying 'Martin LutherCoonKing Jr. Holiday' to refer to Martin Luther King Day live on air on January 28, 2010.[12]
Personal life[edit]
Greenberg is a die-hard New York Jets, New York Knicks and New York Mets fan. Mike Golic, his colleague on Mike & Mike, frequently refers to Greenberg as 'Greeny'.[13] Greenberg resides in Westport, Connecticut, with his wife Stacy, daughter Nicole (born September 2000) and son Stephen (born December 2002).[2]
