CRANBERRY, Pa. -- Good morning!

If you missed our major announcement, the DKPS Podcast Network's taking on ... well, pretty much everyone! We're proud of what this thing's done already, and we've got high hopes for where it's headed beginning this week! Hope to have you along!

And hey, welcome to DK Pittsburgh Sports' town hall of sorts, where we lay out who we are and carry on a fun weeklong conversation to go with it!

If you're already a subscriber, we can't thank you often enough. You're the reason that this special place exists. You're the reason that Steelers, Penguins and Pirates fans, for seven years now, have been able to connect from all over the world. This feature offers, down below, all our coverage schedules, vital links and, of course, the staff locator map.

If you're new, allow me, please, to take you on a quick tour:

SUBSCRIPTIONS: Some of our articles, mostly the straight news, are free and open to all. Any article accompanied by the DKPS+ logo is premium content, insider-level material from our credentialed staff, available exclusively to subscribers. Our two price tiers, which haven't changed in years, are $4.99 for a monthly subscription, $39.99 for an annual subscription. Each one gets you absolutely everything.

FREE TRIAL: Want to try us out before committing? Choose the monthly option. You'll get seven free days without a charge appearing on your card. If you like what you see, don't do a thing, and you'll be a subscriber at the monthly rate. If we aren't for you, just cancel at any point in those seven days.

DISCOUNTS: All subscriptions are half-off for high school and college students, as well as seniors 65-plus. That's $19.99 for an annual subscription. Just choose either option when signing up. Also, if you're active-duty or a veteran of any of the U.S. Armed Forces, your one-year subscription is always free. We take care of the active-duty, and reader contributions take care of the vets. We're proud of this.

PLATFORMS: We've got a website, DKPittsburghSports.com, that's available on all browsers and all devices. We also have a free, state-of-the-art app, available for both Apple and Android. These were custom-built, completely from scratch, in 2020.

ABOUT US: We encourage you to learn about our site's pioneering history, how we were the first company of its kind in North America, and how we've inspired similar ventures across the continent and even overseas. We built this place the old-fashioned way, with our own hands and hard work. It's been amazing to see what we started.

ABOUT OUR COVERAGE: We commit to covering the Steelers, Penguins and Pirates year-round, everything they do, everywhere they go. We travel to every game, every practice, every function involving all three of Pittsburgh's major-league teams. We also report on Pitt football/basketball, Penn State football and Duquesne basketball.

ABOUT ME: I write columns here, meaning opinion, and I do so based off my own reporting, getting around to as many events as possible. Born and raised in Pittsburgh, I've covered sports here since my teens, first for the Post-Gazette, then for the Tribune-Review, before breaking off on my own with this venture. Won a bunch of awards, did five different Olympics, blah, blah. Let's get back to the other stuff.

OUR REPORTERS: Dale Lolley's got 28 years on the Steelers beat, Dave Molinari's in the Hockey Hall of Fame for his work on the Penguins beat, Taylor Haase covers the Penguins as our most-tenured staffer, Tom Reed's a nationally renowned features writer, and Alex Stumpf's building his brand on the Pirates beat. Among contributors, former Steelers guard Ramon Foster writes and podcasts football for us, Chris Carter covers Pitt football/basketball, Cory Giger and Jarrod Prugar cover Penn State and other colleges, Rob Ullman is our illustrator, and Bob Maddamma manages our Hot Button news wire.

OUR COMMUNITY: That's you! We're proud to have subscribers in 150+countries congregating in our one-of-a-kind comments section, where passionate fans discuss and debate their teams in a moderated, civil, politics-free forum!

MULTIMEDIA: Every weekday morning on our DKPS Podcast Network, including Apple and Spotify, and on our YouTube channel, I do three Daily Shot shows, one each on Steelers, Penguins and Pirates. Every Tuesday, we've got The Ramon Foster Show in both audio and video forms. Along the way, our staff's crafting podcasts on Steelers, Penguins, Pirates, Pitt and Penn State. All this is managed by multimedia guru Eddie Provident.

LIVE: We strive to stay in touch with our readers when we're at work, wherever our travels might take us. Tap the button marked LIVE -- bottom right of the app, top right of the site -- and it'll take you to our staff Twitter feed without leaving us. We take a similar approach to our live event files, updating you minute-by-minute on games, practices and more.
