WHERE HAS PHIL KIRZYC BEEN FOR 20 YEARS??
As far as what I've been doing since leaving XX, it hasn't been pretty. I was drunk and homeless for most of those years after getting kicked out of my mother's house which wasn't long after my wife and kids disowned me. Just kidding.
But, I did some time with Scott Paulsen and Jim Krenn on the DVE morning show between '88 and '96 covering news, then sports and also a 7 to Midnight weekend airshift on WDVE.
I also began doing Steeler pre game shows before all home games which I believe started the same year that Bill Cowher replaced Chuck Noll as the Steelers head coach around '91 or '92. It's still a bit fuzzy due to the alcohol abuse! (???????)
When DVE landed the broadcast rights for the Steelers in '99, I became the in-studio host for the pre, halftime and post game shows. That lasted for about two years and then it changed back to being the Steeler pre-game show that airs before the network broadcast. During this time I was eventually moved from my weekly duties with Scott Paulsen and Jim Krenn's morning show to a 7-Midnight shift from 1996-2002. In 2001 I began to do sports on Fox Sports Radio 970 and voice tracked the 7-Midnight shift on WDVE from '01 to '02. In 2002, a 10pm-2am shift was created for me which I voice track and continue to do today.
In 2004 I moved to FM Newstalk 104.7 to voice news reports. I also continue to do traffic reports for Fox Sports Radio and continue to voice track WDVE from 10p-2a. My weekend shift continues on WDVE, where you can listen to me from 2p-6p on Saturday afternoons.
