Happy Heavenly Birthday, Edward Brown

3 Comments

Happy heavenly birthday, Edward Brown. Celebrating your life and your exemplary service and commitment to your listeners, and viewers, by bringing the truth of current affairs as only your writing, analysis, and voice could do.  And, from all of us, the world is less bright without your shining light. (Sept 23, 1933 – Sept 15, 2023)

Edward Brown

Brown spent ten years (1965-1975) with WNEW Radio, N.Y. as newscaster and news analyst.  He won AP and UPI awards for his commentaries on Watergate, and other influential issues of the time. Brown made frequent news analysis appearances on WNEW TV’s “10 O’ Clock News, and had assignments to Cuba for the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the Viet Nam negotiations in Paris.
