Browns Radio Network

Since 2013, Cleveland market stations WKNR (850 AM), WKRK-FM (92.3 FM), and WNCX (98.5 FM) have served as the network's three flagships, an arrangement noted for competing ownership among the stations: WKNR is owned by Good Karma Brands, while WKRK-FM and WNCX are owned by Audacy, Inc. (formerly CBS Radio). The network also includes 21 affiliates in the U.S. states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and New York: ten AM stations, eight of which supplement their signals with a low-power FM translator, and eleven full-power FM stations.

In addition to traditional over-the-air AM and FM broadcasts, network programming airs on satellite radio via Sirius XM and is available online via Sirius XM, TuneIn and NFL+. The University Hospitals Health System of Cleveland, Ohio, has owned the naming rights to the network since the 2017 season.
