Browns Radio Network
The University Hospitals Cleveland Browns Radio Network is an American radio network composed of 24 radio stations which carry English-language coverage of the Cleveland Browns, a professional football team in the National Football League (NFL). Jim Donovan has been the lead announcer since the team's return in 1999,[3] but went on medical leave to undergo treatment for leukemia following the 2023 season opener; various broadcasters, including Chris Rose, Andrew Siciliano and Paul Keels have served as interim play-by-play announcers in his absence.[4] Nathan Zegura serves as commentator and Je'Rod Cherry is the sideline analyst/reporter.[5]
Since 2013, Cleveland market stations WKNR (850AM), WKRK-FM (92.3FM), and WNCX (98.5FM) have served as the network's three flagships, an arrangement noted for competing ownership among the stations: WKNR is owned by Good Karma Brands, while WKRK-FM and WNCX are owned by Audacy, Inc. (formerly CBS Radio).[6] The network also includes 21 affiliates in the U.S. states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and New York: ten AM stations, eight of which supplement their signals with a low-power FM translator, and eleven full-power FM stations.[7]
In addition to traditional over-the-air AM and FM broadcasts, network programming airs on satellite radio via Sirius XM and is available online via Sirius XM, TuneIn and NFL+.[8] The University Hospitals Health System of Cleveland, Ohio, has owned the naming rights to the network since the 2017 season.[9]
