After 7 years, Josh Miller has turned off his microphone at 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh. The former NFL punter was a big part of the morning show with Colin Dunlap and Jim Colony but has decided it’s time for a new challenge. Miller announced his exit from the show this past Friday.
In addition to saying goodbye to his morning audience, Miller also bid farewell to the afternoon show with Chris Mueller and Joe Starkey. Prior to working on the morning show, Miller was part of a three-man afternoon show with Starkey and Mueller.
“I think he’s as naturally funny as maybe any person I’ve ever met and he’s a good man,” said Starkey
Mueller added “I always enjoyed talking with Josh, he had a lot of natural humor…he’s a nice man.”
The afternoon show paid their respects to their former partner by producing a ‘Goodbye Josh Miller’ piece. You can hear it by clicking here.
No word yet on how or if The Fan will replace Miller’s position.

There was definite tension between Colin Dunlap and Josh Miller…I can’t why there wouldn’t be…Dunlap is the worst host on the radio and he was confrontation with Miller and talked over him constantly. It’s a shame Josh has left…he was the only reason I listened in the morning…I will be listening to something else from now on and I can’t listen to Dunlap
I always thought he was a yes man n fairly disagreed
