Knicks reveal new radio play-by-play announcer Tyler Murray before highly anticipated season

The Knicks’ new radio voice is coming from the Red Sox. 

Tyler Murray, a 34-year-old “lifelong Knicks fan,” is replacing Ed Cohen as the regular play-by-play announcer next season on ESPN New York Radio, MSG Networks announced Thursday afternoon.

The Connecticut native is currently filling in for radio play-by-play on Red Sox games behind Will Flemming.

Murray has also been the lead voice for the Triple-A Worcester Red Sox and his broadcasting background includes college basketball and hockey. 

Monica McNutt, also a consistent TV presence, is returning for her second season as the lead analyst for Knicks broadcasts on ESPN New York, which recently moved frequencies from 98.7 FM to 880 AM.

Cohen was the play-by-play voice from 2017 until last season, when a medical condition involving his voice took him off the air.

Pat O’Keefe filled in expertly as the Knicks enjoyed their best season in over a decade, winning 50 games for the East’s second seed and advancing to Game 7 of the second round. 

Counting O’Keefe, Murray will be the Knicks’ fifth regular play-by-play radio announcer since 2011, joining Spero Dedes, Mike Crispino and Cohen. 

“As a lifelong Knicks fan, it’s always been my dream to call their games,” Murray said in the press release. “The city, The Garden, the fans — there’s just nothing like Knicks basketball. It’s an absolute honor to join MSG Networks and I’m excited to put in the work to continue their incredible standard of Knicks coverage on ESPN Radio.”
