Long time Pittsburgh Steelers announcer, Myron Cope, will be heading to Canton later this summer. Although the NFL Hall of Fame does not induct members of the media, Myron Cope will be present at the induction ceremony in early August so that he can accept the Pete Rozell Television-Radio award. According to media relations director Joe Horrigan, the award recognizes "long-time exceptional contributions to radio and television in professional football."

Cope recently retired after 35 years of loyal service as the analyst for Pittsburgh Steelers radio broadcasts. His off-beat vocals made him a sports icon in the steel city, and he is credited with creating the "terrible towels" that are used by Steelers faithful at home games. The 76 year old announcer will be presented with his award at the Enshrinees Dinner on August 6th, during the annual Hall of Fame Enshrinement Weekend celebration.
