Brown Receives Buffalo Bills Boost

• Audacy makes it official and taps Chris Brown as the new radio play-by-play announcer for Buffalo Bills football broadcasts on WGR 550/Buffalo, beginning with the upcoming 2024 season.

Brown, who was the interim announcer last season, succeeds longtime “Voice of the Bills,” John Murphy, who recently announced his retirement. Eric Wood will return as color analyst on WGR 550’s gameday broadcasts. Brown will continue as “Bills Insider” for the station, co-hosting One Bills LIVE, weekdays at 1pm ET on WGR 550 and simulcast on MSG.

“Chris is best suited to carry on the long tradition of informative, passionate and entertaining Bills play-by-play announcing,” said Tim Wenger, SVP/Market Manager, Audacy Buffalo. “His decades-long knowledge of the organization will be invaluable as he assumes the play-by-play microphone.”

Brown joined WGR 550 in 1997 as a Bills beat reporter, became a co-host of One Bills LIVE with Steve Tasker in 2006 and was elevated to host in 2020. Brown also hosts the weekly podcast Bills by the Numbers, presented by FanDuel.

“I was fortunate enough to know Van Miller and John Murphy and worked with them and learned from them,” Brown said. “I’m grateful to be trusted with this responsibility going forward.”
