Jim Donovan, the iconic Cleveland sportscaster who was a fixture at WKYC for 39 years and the Browns radio voice for 25 seasons, has passed away at the age of 68 after a long, heroic battle with cancer.
Jimmy is survived by his beloved wife Cheryl and daughter Meghan. Funeral arrangements will be announced at a later time.
“It’s hard to overstate Jimmy’s impact on all sports, all teams, all fans here in Northeast Ohio. His passion and love for the game was truly unique. We’ve all lost someone very special, and our thoughts and prayers stay with his wife Cheryl and daughter Meghan," said WKYC President and General Manager Micki Byrnes.
Jimmy retired as 3News sports and news anchor in June of this year after a remarkable tenure that started in 1985.
“It’s been an amazing run, and I am so thankful for the support from our viewers, Browns fans, my colleagues and all who have been a part of the journey. I’m looking forward to spending more time with Cheryl and my daughter, Meghan,” Jimmy said at the time of his retirement from WKYC.
“This is an incredibly difficult day for us and the entire Cleveland Browns organization. We are deeply saddened by the loss of Jim Donovan. His impact as the Voice of the Browns for 25 years is immeasurable as he touched the lives of our fans each and every Sunday with his love for the Browns and his brilliance at his craft.” | https://www.wkyc.com/article/entertai...
