CLEVELAND BROWNS ANNOUNCE WKYC CHANNEL 3 AS TELEVISION PARTNER
WKYC TV-3 to broadcast all four preseason games and additional regular season programming
The Cleveland Browns and WKYC Channel 3 have reached an agreement for the NBC affiliate to broadcast all four 2006 preseason games and additional Browns local programming. The first game will broadcast on Thursday, Aug. 10th at 7:30 p.m. as the Browns travel to play the Philadelphia Eagles. The Browns preseason broadcast team will consist of play-by-play announcer, Sam Rosen, and color commentary by former Browns Bernie Kosar and Brian Brennan.
With each preseason contest, WKYC Channel 3 will host the ‘Pregame Huddle’ and have a post-game show. WKYC Channel 3 will continue the ‘Pregame Huddle’ each Sunday at 11:30 a.m. throughout the regular season with radio voice Jim Donovan, Doug Dieken and the Cleveland Plain Dealer’s Tony Grossi. Each Monday at 7:00 p.m., Channel 3 will host ‘The Point After’ with Donovan, Dieken, Grossi and former Cleveland Browns Head Coach Sam Rutigliano. Channel 3 will also air a new Browns program on Sunday nights following the NFL on NBC beginning Sept. 10.
“It is with great pleasure that I announce a new agreement between WKYC Channel 3 and the Cleveland Browns to broadcast the 2006 preseason games and local Browns programming,” said WKYC President and General Manager Brooke Spectorsky. “This is very exciting for WKYC and Browns fans.”
“We are excited about our new broadcast partnership with Channel 3, which will deliver the preseason games to our fans,” said Cleveland Browns Vice President of Communications Bill Bonsiewicz. “The Browns have worked with WKYC before and know the level of quality they bring to all their local programming.”
“Channel 3 will air preseason games beginning with the Browns at Philadelphia on Thursday, August 10, at 7:30 pm” continued Spectorsky. “WKYC will air the Pregame Huddle and post game show for each of the four preseason encounters as well as a Pregame at 11:30am on Sundays throughout the regular season. Channel 3’s Pregame programming will include radio voice of the Browns Jim Donovan, Doug Dieken and Tony Grossi. ‘The Point After’ will return for its second season on Monday nights at 7 pm. Donovan, Dieken, Grossi and former Cleveland Browns Coach Sam Rutigliano will be back to host. A new Browns program on Sunday nights will also air on WKYC following NFL on NBC starting Sept 10.”
“This is a dream come true,” added Donovan, “to have Browns back on WKYC for this year. Our entire sports team will be very busy delivering great coverage and outstanding production values. I have been with Channel 3 for more than twenty years, and can honestly say the station has never been in a stronger position to showcase the Browns and all Cleveland sports.“
