The Browns and the Buckeyes

It is also Cleveland's affiliate for the Ohio State Sports Network, which means Buckeyes football and basketball, and it carries motorsports from the Motor Racing Network.
ESPN and local talk
The station is the Cleveland affiliate of ESPN Radio, combining national ESPN shows with its own local hosts. Its local programs focus on the Browns, the Guardians, the Cavaliers and the Buckeyes, with calls from fans across Northeast Ohio.
Ownership and studios
WKNR is owned by Good Karma Broadcasting, a company that specializes in ESPN-affiliated sports stations. The studios are in the East Bank of the Flats in downtown Cleveland, and the transmitter is in North Royalton.
A long history
The 850 AM frequency has served Cleveland since the end of 1926. It was WLBV and then, for more than half a century, WJW, before becoming WRMR and finally WKNR, a call sign that had previously been used on another Cleveland station.
