MILWAUKEE -- The Milwaukee Brewers today named Brian Anderson their new television play-by-play announcer for games on FSN North, it was announced by Rick Schlesinger, Brewers Executive Vice President-Business Operations.

"Brian is a talented and gifted announcer. His style is engaging, his energy level is high, and he clearly is passionate about his work on and off camera," Schlesinger said. "His talents go well beyond describing the action as he gets the most out of his analyst partners and interview subjects. We believe that he and Bill Schroeder will be an outstanding team."
