Steelers, Pitt Radio Voice Bill Hillgrove Charged With DUI

PITTSBURGH, PA — The radio voice of the Pittsburgh Steelers and University of Pittsburgh Panthers was charged with driving under the influence this week. Police said Bill Hillgrove, 79, drove his car into two glass panes at Ferri's Shur Save supermarket in Murrysville on Monday.

KDKA-TV reported that Hillgrove acknowledged to police that he had "a couple of beers" before the incident.

Hillgrove was hired in 1969 as a broadcaster for the Pitt Panthers basketball team, and later became a color and lead announcer for Pitt basketball and football games. The former WTAE-TV sports director has been the radio play-by-play announcer for Steelers games since 1994.
