PHILADELPHIA (WPHL) -- Philadelphia is mourning the loss of one of its most beloved voices. Pierre Robert, the legendary WMMR radio host whose "Greeting Cititzens!" became a morning ritual for generations of rock fans, has died at the age of 70.

Beasley Media Group, which owns WMMR, confirmed that Robert was found dead in his Philadelphia home Wednesday afternoon. Authorities say no foul play is suspected.

Robert joined 93.3 WMMR in 1981 and quickly became a defining presence on the station's airwaves. Known for his warmth, wit, and deep connection with listeners, he helped carry WMMR's rock legacy from the classic er of the '70s and '80s into a new generation.

"He loved the community. He loved the music. And he loved the power of radio," said Steve Morrison of WMMR's Preston & Steve. "
