Islanders broadcaster Brendan Burke returning to MSG Network for 2024-25

Brendan Burke will be back behind the mic for the upcoming Islanders season.

The television voice of the Isles has agreed to terms with MSG Network to return this coming season, with the contract expected to be signed in the coming days, Newsday reported.

After taking over for Howie Rose during the 2016-17 season, Burke, 40, has become one of the rising young broadcasters in the business earning national roles on NBC’s erstwhile NHL coverage and then TNT’s subsequent broadcasting of the league.

Burke, the son of Don Burke, a sports copy editor at The Post, has also called baseball and college football for NBC.

The Islanders play-by-play man has pinch-hit on Yankees games on WFAN, but his name has been bantered about as a possibility as a replacement for the now-retired John Sterling, who stepped away from the microphone earlier this year.

Burke has described himself as a hockey announcer, but told Barrett Media in 2022 that calling Yankees games that season was “an awesome experience.”
