CLEVELAND, Ohio (92.3 The Fan) – The Cleveland Browns, Entercom Communications and Good Karma Brands announced an extension of their radio broadcast rights agreement Thursday.
The new multi-year agreement with Entercom Communications, the parent company of Sports Radio 92.3 The Fan and 98.5 WNCX Cleveland's Classic Rock, allows both stations to remain official radio homes of the Browns for the foreseeable future.
“With football season right around the corner, we are excited to continue delivering premier coverage of the Browns to Cleveland’s biggest sports fans on two of our market-leading stations – both on the field and off of it,” Tom Herschel, senior vice president and market manager of Entercom Cleveland, said. “We value our long-standing partnership with the Cleveland Browns and look forward to many more seasons as the flagship radio stations of the team.”
The unique triple cast agreement with the Browns began in 2013 and the stations will continue to provide fans more than 20 hours of Browns coverage each week during the 2020 season, including more than nine hours on gameday, through the University Hospitals Cleveland Browns Radio Network.
“Through our partnership with Entercom and Good Karma Brands, we have incredible opportunities and resources to consistently provide our fans with compelling radio programming on gamedays and throughout the year,” Dave Jenkins, Browns executive vice president/chief operating officer, said. “We greatly appreciate Entercom’s and Good Karma Brands’ efforts to bring our fans even closer to our players, coaches and entire team and are excited to continue to produce these shows with them in the years to come.”
In-season radio programming incudes “The Cleveland Browns Preview Show” and “The Kevin Stefanski Show,” which air from 7-8 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively, each week through the end of the season.
“The Cleveland Browns Preview Show” is hosted by Ken Carman and Je’Rod Cherry and includes a weekly breakdown of the team’s roster, upcoming opponents and the latest NFL news, as well as an exclusive player interview.
“The Kevin Stefanski Show,” highlighted by an exclusive interview with the Browns’ head coach, is hosted by Browns senior media broadcaster Nathan Zegura and Beau Bishop and also features a conversation with a Browns player each week.
92.3 The Fan will continue to serve as the official radio home of the post game show following every Browns game.
In addition to the three flagship stations, the University Hospitals Cleveland Browns Radio Network is comprised of 26 affiliates throughout Northeast Ohio and beyond.
