{{Main|List of Pittsburgh Penguins broadcasters}}
Local ABC affiliate WTAE-TV broadcast the Penguins during the 1967–68 season, with station Sports Director [[Ed Conway]] handling the play-by-play during both the television and radio broadcasts. He remained the lone play-by-play broadcaster until the completion of the 1968–69 season. Joe Tucker took over for Ed Conway during the 1969–70 season, when WPGH-TV and WTAE-TV split Penguins' broadcasts. WPGH-TV retained the rights to broadcast the Penguins for the 1970–71 season, with Bill Hamilton handing the play-by-play duties. The 1970–71 season was also the first season where the Penguins introduced a [[color commentator]] to the broadcast team, with John MacDonald taking the position in the booth.<ref>{{Citation | title = Sportscaster Ed Conway Dies | pages = 67 | newspaper = [[The Pittsburgh Press]] | location = Pittsburgh | date =May 29, 1974 | url = https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1144&dat=19740529&id=m1oqAAAAIBAJ&pg=7422,5352800 | access-date =November 19, 2020 | archive-date =March 18, 2021 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20210318113945/https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1144&dat=19740529&id=m1oqAAAAIBAJ&pg=7422%2C5352800 | url-status = live}}</ref><ref>{{Citation | last = Neill | first = Barbara M. | title = Swimming Against The Tide: The Unpredictable Life of Eleanor Schano | pages = 4–5 | newspaper = Laurel Mountain Post | location = Pittsburgh | date =July–August 2008 | url = http://issuu.com/lmpeditor/docs/lmp-july-august-2008 | access-date =October 3, 2012 | archive-date =March 14, 2013 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130314145245/http://issuu.com/lmpeditor/docs/lmp-july-august-2008 | url-status = live}}</ref>

[[File:Mike Lange 1 2011-12-03.JPG|thumb|alt=Photograph of Mike Lange |[[Mike Lange]] served as a play-by-play commentator for the team from 1974 until 2021.]]
[[Mike Lange]], who joined the Penguins' broadcast team as a play-by-play announcer on the radio side in 1974–75 became the play-by-play broadcaster for the team at the start of the 1979–80 season. At his side was Terry Schiffauer, who had previously held the position of Penguins' director of public relations and eventually transitioned into color commentator for Sam Nover in 1972–73. Lange and Schiffauer remained a team in the Penguins' broadcast booth until 1984–85, when Schiffauer was replaced by Paul Steigerwald. Lange and Steigerwald remained a constant in the broadcast booth from 1985 until 1999. 
With Steigerwald's departure in 1999, Mike Lange shared the broadcast booth with former Penguins' defenseman [[Peter Taglianetti]]. Taglianetti remained in the position for one season before being replaced by Eddie Olczyk. Lange and Olczyk were broadcast partners from 2000 until 2003, when Olczyk left the booth to become the 18th head coach in Penguins' history following the firing of previous head coach [[Rick Kehoe]] after the 2002–03 season.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.ksdk.com/news/story.aspx?storyid=38980 | title =Penguins Fire Coach Rick Kehoe | author=Jordan Palmer | publisher =kdsk.com | date =April 15, 2003 | access-date =October 2, 2012}}</ref> With Olczyk's vacancy, the Penguins hired [[Bob Errey]] as their new color commentator for the start of the 2003–04 season. Lange and Errey remained in the booth until 2005–06. After 26 seasons in the television broadcast booth, FSN Pittsburgh did not retain Mike Lange. Instead, he was replaced by former broadcast partner Paul Steigerwald, who remained the team's TV play-by-play broadcaster until the 2016–17 season. Lange returned to the radio broadcast booth and holds the position of radio play-by-play announcer, the same position he held with the team in the mid-1970s. Following the 2016–17 season, Steigerwald moved back to the Penguins front office and [[NHL Network (American TV channel)|NHL Network]] personality [[Steve Mears]] was hired as the new television play-by-play announcer starting with the 2017–18 season. Lange retired in the 2021 off-season, with Josh Getzoff being named as his replacement. [[Phil Bourque]] serves as the radio color commentator. Before the 2023–24 season, Getzoff moved to the television booth with Mears replacing him on the radio.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nhl.com/penguins/news/sportsnet-pittsburgh-announces-three-talent-hires|title=SportsNet Pittsburgh Announces Three Talent Hires|website=nhl.com/penguins|date=September 18, 2023|access-date=September 18, 2023|archive-date=September 20, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230920223248/https://www.nhl.com/penguins/news/sportsnet-pittsburgh-announces-three-talent-hires|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nhl.com/penguins/news/steve-mears-named-play-by-play-broadcaster-for-the-penguins-radio-network|title=Steve Mears Named Play-by-Play Broadcaster for the Penguins Radio Network|website=nhl.com/penguins|date=September 18, 2023|access-date=September 18, 2023|archive-date=September 20, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230920223248/https://www.nhl.com/penguins/news/steve-mears-named-play-by-play-broadcaster-for-the-penguins-radio-network|url-status=live}}</ref> The Penguins did not retain TV analyst Bob Errey, choosing to go with a rotation of analysts featuring former Penguins [[Colby Armstrong]], [[Mike Rupp]] and Phil Bourque.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://theathletic.com/4825526/2023/09/01/penguins-bob-errey-steve-mears-tv/|title=Penguins removing Bob Errey, Steve Mears from TV booth|website=The Athletic|date=September 1, 2023|access-date=September 18, 2023|archive-date=September 7, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230907071503/https://theathletic.com/4825526/2023/09/01/penguins-bob-errey-steve-mears-tv/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Vensel |first=Matt |title=Penguins announce retooled rotation of TV broadcast color analysts for upcoming season |url=https://www.post-gazette.com/sports/penguins/2023/09/20/penguins-broadcast-colby-armstrong-phil-bourque-mike-rupp-bob-errey-sidney-crosby/stories/202309200111 |access-date=October 1, 2023 |website=Pittsburgh Post-Gazette}}</ref> In 2024, Joe Brand replaced Steve Mears on the radio booth after Mears was hired by the Blue Jackets.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nhl.com/penguins/news/joe-brand-named-radio-play-by-play-broadcaster-of-the-penguins-radio-network|title=Joe Brand Named Radio Play-By-Play Broadcaster of the Penguins Radio Network |website=nhl.com/penguins|date=September 3, 2024|access-date=September 9, 2024}}</ref>
