MSG Networks has parted ways with Brendan Brown. The analyst on Knicks’ radio broadcasts was let go after allegations of verbal harassment. Details of those accusations are not available, but Andrew Marchand of The New York Post reports they were investigated by the team’s human resources department.
Brown has been absent from Knicks broadcasts recently. The team has turned to Alan Hahn, Monica McNutt, Wally Sczerbiak and John Wallace in his absence.
“MSG Networks and Brendan Brown have decided to part company,” an MSG Networks spokesman said in a statement. “For the remainder of the season, various personalities, including former Knick John Wallace, will serve as the Knicks radio analyst on the MSG Radio Network on ESPN.”
The rotation of analysts is only scheduled to go on through the end of the season. The permanent future of the spot alongside play-by-play man Ed Cohen will be determined at a later date.
The Knicks have employed Brown since 2008. He has served in a variety of roles. He was an advanced scout prior to moving into the radio booth full-time in 2012.
Marchand reached out to Brendan Brown, who declined to comment on the accusations.
