Voice of the Browns steps away to continue his battle with cancer

In heartbreaking news today, the voice of the Cleveland Browns, Jim Donovan, has been forced to step away from the booth permanently as his cancer has returned.

Donovan was re-diagnosed with cancer last season, which forced him away from the booth for part of the 2023 season. He returned triumphantly to smash the ceremonial pregame guitar after beating cancer and returning to the radio booth. However, Donovan has announced that his cancer has once again returned in a more aggressive form. Taking pen-to-paper to the fans of the Browns, Donovan wrote:

“Unfortunately, I will not be calling the game on the Browns Radio Network. I have called my last Browns game and that’s why I’m writing to you. As many of you know, I have been dealing with cancer for many years. I’ve gone through every treatment imaginable. But my cancer is a defiant opponent and has returned very aggressively. This will require me to devote everything I have in me to continue the fight and my family and I are committed to doing that.”

It won’t be the same without the voice of Donovan ringing through the radio. We wish Donovan nothing but the best as he continues his fight against cancer.
