SportsLine's 25th Anniversary Program live from the Clarion Hotel/New Kensington, with staff and some guests.
You can't work with someone for over 40 years and not miss them after they're gone.
Joe Falsetti and I covered well over 2,000 sports events together as a team on both AM & FM radio and cable TV.  Our sports talk show started on radio, became a simulcast with cable TV, and continues to this day on Comcast Cable alone.
The photo above was taken at the 25th anniversary of the show on cable TV in late 1996 at the Clarion Hotel, New Kensington, where we did a live program via uplink.  Five years prior to going on TV, the show had its baptism on WKPA radio.  
In the two photos below, Joe and I are pictured on the actual set for the show at the Comcast studios in New Kensington.  The photo on the right was taken at the Riverview High School football press box in Oakmont.  Joe passed away in April of 2006.
Also shown below are photos of the various co-hosts of the Sportsline Talk Show which is now produced at the AKLC Studios in neighboring Arnold and is still carried on Comcst Cablevision.
