Early in his career, Tim Brando worked at WAFB-TV in Baton Rouge as assistant sports director. From 1986–94, he served as a studio host for SportsCenter, ESPN's college football halftime show, and for the network's coverage of the NCAA Men's Basketball Championships. In 1994, he provided play-by-play for TNT's coverage of the NBA Playoffs and called Atlanta Hawks and Atlanta Braves games for SportSouth during that period.

In 1996, Brando joined his current home, CBS Sports, and began calling NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship games. Three years later, he added hosting duties on College Football Today, which is the broadcast network home of SEC football. He has also provided play-by-play for the NFL on CBS. In addition to his CBS duties, Brando calls games for Raycom's coverage of the Atlantic Coast Conference basketball telecasts and he is in his eighth season of hosting Raycom's Emmy Award winning show, "Football Saturdays In The South."

Many remember the days of the Jefferson Pilot SEC Game of the Week. Brando served as play-by-play for both basketball and football and currently serves as television ply-by-play announcer for all New Orleans Saints pre-season games. 

A staple in SEC sports, Brando currently hosts the Tim Brando Show that can be heard throughout the country on Sirius/XM satellite radio, terrestrial radio and is also simulcast on the CBS Sports Television Network.
