Jerry Schemmel is the voice many Colorado fans picture when they think of summer nights and Rockies baseball on KOA. Right now he shares the Rockies broadcast booth with Jack Corrigan, trading off between play-by-play and color commentary, while Jesse Thomas handles production.
His road there has some twists. Long before baseball, he spent 18 years calling Denver Nuggets games. He called Rockies action on KOA from 2010 through 2019, then left iHeartMedia’s 850/94.1 KOA in January 2020. The break didn’t last: on April 8, 2022 he came back to the KOA Colorado Rockies Radio Network right away, taking the chair Mike Rice had held for two seasons.
This is a short page built from trade-press reports. If you have more to add about Jerry’s career, we’d love to hear from you.
