CLEVELAND ROCKS: BROWNS PICK FM STATION TO BE LOCAL CARRIER

          The Browns have signed a three-year deal making Jacor
     Communications' WMJI-FM their flagship radio station.  Jacor
     said it will develop a network of affiliates throughout the
     region and make assignments for on-air talent at a later
     date (Jacor).  In Cleveland, Roger Brown reports that Jacor
     is paying the Browns an "estimated" $3M for the broadcast
     rights (Cleveland PLAIN DEALER, 1/26).  A Jacor spokesperson
     said that WMJI won the contract because "it has the
     strongest FM signal in the area, and the second-strongest in
     the state" (AKRON BEACON JOURNAL, 1/26).  
          THE I'S HAVE IT: The SPORTSBUSINESS JOURNAL's Andy
     Bernstein reports that the Browns have retained NJ-based ISI
     to assist with team sponsorship sales.  ISI will also help
     the Browns with PSL sales (SPORTSBUSINESS JOURNAL, 1/25).
