Edward Brown, a broadcast journalist for nearly fifty years, worked principally with New York stations, WNEW Radio/TV, WMCA and with NBC News. His on-air assignments began with educational radio (WSHS-FM) in 1949, and ended in semi-retirement in 1997 as a news anchor with WCHL, Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
At NBC, Brown anchored radio network newscasts and provided news analysis and general reporting for NBC’s News and Information Service. Documentaries he wrote and narrated included, “Religion In America,” and “The Press And The Third World.”
Before Joining NBC in 1975, Brown spent ten years with WNEW as news analyst and commentator. He won AP and UPI awards for commentaries on Watergate, the Viet Nam war and other issues. Brown’s television reporting included regular appearances on WNEW-TV’s “10 o’clock News,” coverage of the Viet Nam negotiations in Paris in 1973, and special assignment in Cuba the following year.
In addition to newscasting with WMCA, (1959-1965) Brown was a regular substitute host on the Barry Gray show. He co-wrote and narrated documentaries on slum housing and capital punishment that won Peabody and Sigma Delta Chi awards for “distinquished reporting.”
A resident of Sun City Center, Florida, since 2001, Brown was for two years (2004-2006) Editor-In-Chief of The News of Sun City Center. He wrote numerous musical documentaries for two local theater companies.
