Andy Burcham Named New Radio Voice Of Auburn Athletics

Andy Burcham, who has been part of radio broadcasts for the past 31 years, will take over for the late Rod Bramblett as the voice of the university's football, men's basketball programs, Auburn Sports Properties and Auburn Athletics announced Monday.

Bramblett and his wife, Paula, died from injuries suffered in a car accident on May 25.

“I’m thrilled to be selected as the Voice of the Auburn Tigers,” Burcham said in a statement. “While it’s a bittersweet time and I wish the circumstances creating this opportunity were different, I am honored to be following in the footsteps of such legends as Rod Bramblett, Jim Fyffe and others. With this job, you’re not just the voice of Auburn football, men’s basketball and baseball. You’re also the voice of Auburn. You represent Auburn every day, and I will never forget that. I have been in this community and broadcasting Auburn games for 31 years. I understand and love Auburn and its tradition. I can’t wait to be a part of it moving forward.”

Burcham, a native of Nashville, Illinois, came to Auburn in 1988 and has been the voice of the Tigers' women's basketball program ever since. He celebrated 25 years calling baseball games alongside Bramblett this past season.

He has been the pre- and postgame locker room host for Auburn football since 1990 and was the play-by-play announcer for pay-per-view and tape-delay broadcasts from 1992-2013. Burcham has also called Auburn soccer games since 2001 and has done SEC Network+ broadcasts for the last five years.

Burcham will assume all of Bramblett's responsibilities, including co-hosting Tiger Talk with Brad Law. Law will join the booth for baseball and serce as the pre- and postgame locker room host for football. Brit Bowen will take over for the broadcasting duties for women's basketball and softball.

“During the very difficult process of replacing Rod, it was very clear that Andy Burcham was the right man to be the new Voice of the Auburn Tigers,” Auburn Sports Properties vice president and general manager Chris Davis said. “He is well respected not only in his profession, but by his coworkers, Auburn Athletics coaches and administration, and in the community. He understands the importance of this role. Andy is a consummate professional who puts great preparation, execution and passion into his work. Most importantly, Andy is a man of great character who loves and cares deeply for Auburn and what it represents. We’re very excited for Andy and can’t wait for the Auburn Family to embrace him in his new role.”
