Radio and TV
Since 2002, radio flagship duties for the Browns have been shared by WMMS (100.7 FM) and WTAM (1100 AM). Jim Donovan--sports director/news anchor at WKYC channel 3 (NBC)--is the play-by-play announcer, former Browns offensive tackle Doug Dieken is the color analyst, and Clevelandbrowns.com manager/personality Jamir Howerton serves as sideline reporter. WTAM morning co-host/sports director Mike Snyder and former Browns quarterback Mike Pagel host the pregame show, while WTAM sports anchor/reporter Andre Knott hosts the postgame show. WTAM is also the flagship station for the Cleveland Indians and Cleveland Cavaliers, so should either of those teams play at the same time as the Browns, WMMS will air the Browns game while WTAM airs the Indians/Cavs.
Preseason telecasts air on WKYC, with Jim Donovan and former Browns QB Bernie Kosar in the booth, and WKYC sports reporter Dave Chudowski as sideline reporter. When Donovan does TV, Mike Snyder moves to radio play-by-play, and WTAM evening host Bob Frantz does the pregame show with Pagel.
The team also produces a year round daily radio program titled Cleveland Browns Daily (hosted by former NFL.com writer Vic Carucci) which airs on WKNR AM 850.
WKYC is the "official" over-the-air home of the team, airing all preseason telecasts (unless they're nationally televised), and other Browns themed programming during the season.
SportsTime Ohio is the official cable home of the team, as it airs replays of the Browns preseason games on WKYC, and airs numerous weekly Browns related programs.
When a game is broadcast on either ESPN or NFL Network, a local over-the-air station will simulcast the game (as per NFL policy). WJW has been airing the bulk of these games in recent years, though Browns TV partner WKYC has occasionally picked up the games as well.

Famous quotes containing the words radio and tv and/or radio:
“Having a thirteen-year-old in the family is like having a general-admission ticket to the movies, radio and TV. You get to understand that the glittering new arts of our civilization are directed to the teen-agers, and by their suffrage they stand or fall.”
—Max Lerner (b. 1902)
“Now they can do the radio in so many languages that nobody any longer dreams of a single language, and there should not any longer be dreams of conquest because the globe is all one, anybody can hear everything and everybody can hear the same thing, so what is the use of conquering.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
