The New York Post recently reported that the Madison Square Garden Network is expected to name 34-year-old Ed Cohen the new radio voice of the New York Knicks. Cohen replaces Mike Crispino, who was let go after a long tenure with MSG.
The Westchester native has spent the past 12 years calling minor league baseball and college basketball games, as well as the WNBA’s Liberty telecasts. He’s expected to team up with Knicks radio analyst Brendan Brown.
Cohen becomes the second broadcaster from Ithaca College to land a prime opportunity with MSG. Brendan Burke was named the Islanders’ TV announcer last August.
