“He was a gentleman in every way possible, and he did so much for our city and Western Pennsylvania with his honest candor and knowledge of all sports.” “Today is a sad day in the city of Pittsburgh as we lost a legendary person, media icon and close friend with the passing of Stan Savran,” Pittsburgh Steelers president Art Rooney II said in a statement. The area’s professional sports teams – the Penguins Pirates and Steelers – all offered condolences to Savran’s family, as did various personalities and fans in the locale. He had been battling lung cancer and diabetes, and leaves an indelible legacy in the Steel City and beyond. Stan Savran, one of the hallmarks of sports media in the city of Pittsburgh, passed away at the age of 76. However, Dakich said Emmis was “home” to the former college basketball coach.
So when we were discussing what we were gonna do when the time came - when I was asked to make a choice - there really was no choice.”ĭakich said he was appreciative of the people running Radio One, which purchased The Fan, along with the entire Indianapolis cluster, from Emmis Communications earlier this year. As my wife said, ‘You know what? That’s played out’. 14 years in the saddle from Noon to 3:00 - actually it started from 10:00 AM-1:00 PM - at Emmis Communications. And thank you for supporting them both…but I made the choice, I chose OutKick.
I was doing two shows, I was doing an afternoon show and I was doing a morning show. “Yesterday, I had to make a choice,” Dakich said.
On that show Friday morning, Dakich detailed his exit from his longtime Indianapolis radio home. It was announced yesterday that Dan Dakich had departed 107.5 The Fan in Indianapolis, and would turn his attention solely to his digital show Don’t Me with OutKick.
