Input (English): With Steigerwalds departure in 1999, Mike Lange shared the broadcast booth with former Penguins defenseman Peter Taglianetti. Taglianetti, a two-time Stanley Cup winner with the team in 1991 and 1992, remained in the position for one season before being replaced by Ed 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 that had become upon due to the firing of previous Head Coach Rick Kehoe after the 200203 season. With Olczyks vacancy, the Penguins hired Bob Errey as their new color commentator for the start of the 200304 season (a position that he continues to hold as of the start of the 201213 season. Lange and Errey remained in the booth until 200506. After 26 seasons in the television broadcast booth, Mike Lange was not retained by FSN Pittsburgh. Instead, he was replaced by former broadcast partner Paul Steigerwald, who remained the TV play-by-play broadcaster for the team until the 201617 season. Lange returned to the radio broadcast booth and currently holds the position of radio play-by-play announcer, the same position he had held with the team in the mid-1970s. Following the 201617 season, Steigerwald moved back to the Penguins front office and NHL Network (U.S. TV network) personality Steve Mears was hired as the new television play-by-play announcer starting with the 201718 season.
