93.7 The Fan is adding a player’s perspective to morning drive. Pittsburgh’s sports talk leader revealed today that former NFL veteran Dorin Dickerson is joining “The Fan Morning Show” alongside Colin Dunlap and Chris Mack. The trio will begin working together starting on August 1.
“It is always great to see someone grow within our organization, and through his time in various roles with us, Dorin has truly developed into a host who can entertain on topics well beyond the field,” said Michael Spacciapolli, Vice President and Market Manager of Audacy Pittsburgh. “As a former All-American at Pitt and NFL player, Dorin has a perspective that our listeners truly appreciate and we are extremely excited to welcome his thoughts on the sports world and all things Pittsburgh to ‘The Fan Morning Show’ every day.”
Dickerson’s football career began in western PA. He was a High School All American and Pennsylvania Player of the Year in 2005 at West Allegheny. He then moved on to play for the University of Pittsburgh and was a First-team All American tight end in 2009. Next came an opportunity to perform at the highest level, entering the NFL as a seventh-round draft pick of the Houston Texans in 2010. Dickerson would go on to play six seasons in the league, spending time with the Pittsburgh Steelers, New England Patriots, Buffalo Bills, and Tennessee Titans.
“Excited is an understatement…I didn’t know what my purpose was after I retired from the NFL,” said Dickerson. “Five years ago, I found myself sitting in the 93.7 The Fan studio doing a three-hour show, and immediately fell in love with sports radio. That opportunity wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for Larry Richert having faith in me and passing my name along to the station. I can’t thank Michael Spacciapolli and brand manager Kraig Riley enough for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime. I plan to bring positive energy, experience, and fun to ‘The Fan Morning Show.’ I can’t wait.”
Since February 2017, Dickerson has worked as an on-air talent for The Fan. His addition to the morning show adds a new dimension, and valuable on the field insight which should make an already successful show even better.
