Kevin Brown, the popular MASN television broadcaster, has signed a multi-year agreement to remain as the Orioles’ primary TV voice, the team announced on Thursday.
Brown, who came to the Orioles in 2019, became the lead TV broadcaster for the 2022 season. He and his family are now full-time residents of Baltimore.
“I’m humbled and honored to be a part of this next chapter of Orioles baseball,” said Brown in a statement released by the Orioles. “My incredible colleagues in the booth and around the ballpark make every day a joy. Baltimore is a special place, and I’m grateful to call it my home. Here’s to many more nights of this thrilling team, this passionate fan base, and all the ballpark food I can reasonably eat.”
Brown, who was suspended by the team last season for supposedly making critical remarks about the team, has meshed well with analysts Jim Palmer and Ben McDonald. He also works for ESPN, calling MLB postseason games on radio and hosting the ESPN Statcast Edition.
He also calls college basketball and for the past four years, covered the Women’s College World Series.
“When he joined our broadcast team six years ago, we knew Kevin Brown would quickly become a household name,” Orioles Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Greg Bader said in a statement. “His knowledge and passion for the game, paired with his lighthearted personality and genuine relationships with his colleagues in the booth have turned each Orioles game into can’t miss television. We are grateful to have Kevin on our team and look forward to him calling winning Orioles baseball for years to come.”
