 Browns Radio Network

The Cleveland Browns Radio Network is an American radio network consisting of 25 radio stations which carry coverage of the Cleveland Browns, a professional football team in the NFL. WKNR/Cleveland (850 AM), WKRK-FM/Cleveland (92.3 FM), and WNCX/Cleveland (98.5 FM) serve as the network's three flagship stations. The network also includes 22 affiliates in the U.S. states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia: 11 AM stations, one of which extends its signal's range with a low-power FM translator; and 11 full-power FM stations. Jim Donovan is the current play-by-play announcer, while Doug Dieken serves as color commentator.[1][2][3] In addition to traditional over-the-air AM and FM broadcasts, the Browns are available on SiriusXM satellite radio, and online with NFL Audio Pass.[4][5]

History

Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Following reactivation of the Cleveland Browns franchise in 1999, flagship rights were awarded to Cleveland oldies station WMJI, then owned by Jacor Communications (later absorbed by Clear Channel); "secondary programming", including a weekly show featuring the Browns head coach, aired on AM sister station WTAM. By 2002, FM coverage had shifted from WMJI to rock station WMMS. Most games were also simulcast on WTAM during this period. In March 2013, WKNR owner Good Karma Broadcasting (now Good Karma Brands), together with WKRK-FM/WNCX owner CBS Radio, announced a new "long-term deal" with the team.[6][7][8]
