Having lived in Cleveland before college and in Pittsburgh during and after college, I’ve been able to gain a unique familiarity with both sports media markets. 

Now that I sit at a desk all day, and thanks to the wonders of streaming audio on the internet, I’m able to easily pick and choose where I get my sports talk radio.

If you’ve read my bio or any of my posts, you know I’m a diehard Cleveland Browns and Indians fan.  But you might not be aware that I am also a huge Pittsburgh Penguins fan as well. 

And more than anything else, I’m just looking for engaging, entertaining sports talk to get me through my day, regardless of which teams are the topic of conversation.

Pittsburgh and Cleveland have always been famous rivals on the gridiron, but now it’s time to see who owns the airwaves.

Let's take a look at the ESPN Radio affiliates for each city.  For Cleveland, it's ESPN 850 AM(www.espncleveland.com) and for Pittsburgh, it's ESPN 1250 AM ( http://sports.espn.go.com/stations/espnradio1250/).  There are other minor players in the radio market of each city, but neither can compare to the Goliath status that these two stations enjoy.
