Veteran sports broadcaster Jerry Schemmel returns to the KOA Colorado Rockies Radio Network, effective immediately. Schemmel shares play-by-play and color analyst duties with Jack Corrigan for all 162 Colorado Rockies games and returns to KOA/Denver for his eleventh season following a two-year hiatus.

"I am elated to be coming back to the KOA Colorado Rockies Radio Network booth," said Schemmel. "I couldn't be happier to be working with Jack Corrigan and Producer, Jesse Thomas. I can't wait to roll up my sleeves and get back at it."

"We are delighted to welcome Jerry back to KOA's Colorado Rockies broadcasts," added iHeartMedia Denver Region President Brenda Egger. "Jerry's voice is synonymous with sports in Colorado, and it's an honor to have him call Rockies' games alongside Jack Corrigan."

In addition to the Colorado Rockies, Schemmel has spent 18 years as the play-by-play announcer of the Denver Nuggets. And most recently, he has served as the radio voice for the University of Northern Colorado Football and Basketball. Schemmel also hosts and produces "Amazing Americans," a nationally-syndicated weekend radio show.

KOA has been the radio rightsholder and flagship station of the Colorado Rockies since the team's inception in 1993. Game broadcasts air on KOA 850 AM and 94.1 FM and stream live on the iHeartRadio app within the Denver metro area. Outside of Denver, KOA's Colorado Rockies broadcasts air on a network of over 40 stations across the Western U.S.
