Brown had previously replaced John Murphy on the radio. Murphy suffered a stroke in December 2022 and saw his health improve, but he decided to retire after the 2023 NFL season.

Brown is only the third full-time PxP commentator hired by the team (Van Miller, Murphy) in its history.

Brown is co-host of the weekday talk show One Bills Live on WGR-550 radio. He has held various positions with the team since 2006.

Former Bills center Eric Wood will continue to join Brown in the booth on game days to provide color commentary.

Brown released this statement following the announcement via the team’s website:

“I would like to thank the Pegula family, Pete Guelli, the Bills organization, and then Tim Wenger and Allan Davis at Audacy Buffalo. I was fortunate to know Van Miller and John Murphy. I worked with them, I learned from them. I am grateful to be trusted with this responsibility going forward.”
