Buffalo Bills Name New Permanent Radio Play-By-Play Announcer
To no one's surprise, it's Chris Brown, who took over when John Murphy suffered a stroke and had to be replaced. Murphy had been in the booth for 35 years.
Brown begins his official fulltime role when the Bills play their first game on Sept. 8th.

Re: Buffalo Bills Name New Permanent Radio Play-By-Play Announcer
The story of how Chris Brown went from earning $4 an hour at WJJL in Niagara Falls to being the official play-by-play voice of the Buffalo Bills is something that could only happen in the radio business.
"After graduating, Brown landed his first professional job at WJJL for $4.25 an hour doing news reports and covering Niagara Falls Common Council hearings that lasted longer than Bills games.
He also called Niagara Frontier League high school basketball games for $25 a game...
In 1995, Brown was hired for $16,300 a year as a field reporter at WGR, when it was a news radio station...
He supplemented his salary that topped out at $30,000 annually by working as a stringer covering Buffalo Sabres and Bills games for ABC Radio and Bloomberg Radio."
As the new voice of the Bills, Chris Brown will have lots to say. Just not about Chris Brown
