The Cleveland Browns have reached a multi-year renewal with Audacy and Good Karma Brands, ensuring the stations will continue as flagship radio partners for the University Hospitals Browns Radio Network. The agreement extends a 13-year collaboration delivering gameday coverage and year-round programming to Browns fans across Northeast Ohio.

"Our incredible partnership with Audacy's 92.3 The Fan and 98.5 WNCX, along with Good Karma Brands' 850 ESPN Cleveland, is an important extension of how we reach our fans each and every day," said Haslam Sports Group Partner JW Johnson. "2025 will mark our 13th season working together, and we look forward to providing Browns fans with the insight and coverage they want most-whether it's on gameday, during their commute, or throughout the year."

Under the renewed deal, flagship stations Audacy's WKRK (92.3 The Fan) and 98.5 WNCX (Audacy Cleveland), along with Good Karma Brands WKNR (ESPN Cleveland 850), will continue to air live Browns games, pregame and postgame shows, and weekly programming. Fans can also stream broadcasts through the Browns Mobile App.

As part of the programming updates, Cleveland Browns Daily presented by Bally Bet, hosted by Nathan Zegura and Beau Bishop, will shift to a new 3-5pm ET timeslot. The show features year-round team coverage and interviews with coaches, players, and front office staff from the Browns' CrossCountry Mortgage Campus.

The in-season lineup also includes The Cleveland Browns Preview Show, airing Wednesdays at 7pm with Ken Carman and Je'Rod Cherry, plus contributions from play-by-play voice Andrew Siciliano and analyst Zegura. On Thursdays at 7pm, The Kevin Stefanski Show presented by Browns VIP Tailgate provides exclusive weekly interviews with the head coach, players, and assistant coaches.

"We're thrilled to continue our partnership with the Cleveland Browns," said Tom Olson, Market Manager of ESPN Cleveland. "This renewal not only extends our tradition of delivering the excitement of Browns content to our fans, but also opens new opportunities to integrate our local partners directly into the play-by-play broadcast."

Audacy Cleveland SVP and Market Manager Jeff Miller added, "As another exciting football season approaches, we're thrilled to share that 92.3 The Fan will proudly continue as the Browns' flagship station. Our mission is to enhance the fan experience with both live game-day action and the stories that happen off the field."
