It depends on the source of the buzz and what software you have available. Final Cut Pro (and most decent video editing software, I assume) can pretty easily edit out 60Hz hum of mains power being run through a bad place (ground loops, conductors too close to sensitive parts of the recording device, etc). If that doesn't work (assuming the announcer is louder than the hum), you could try an expansion filter of some sort to make the hum quieter in relation to the announcer. If you try an expansion approach, be prepared to mess with filter settings a bit to keep from getting really funky effects.
