Jack Corrigan

     Jack Corrigan celebrates his 25th season broadcasting Major League Baseball and his 8th campaign with the Rockies Radio Network.  Corrigan came to Colorado after 17 years in the Cleveland Indians television booth from 1985-2001. At the time, his 17 years of broadcasting Tribe games on TV was the longest tenure among television announcers in team’s history.
     In addition to his work in baseball, Corrigan was involved from 1982-88 with play-by-play and color commentary for the Cleveland Cavaliers telecasts and the MISL Cleveland Force. Beginning in 1989, he was the “television voice” for college football and basketball games for the Atlantic Coast Conference, Mid-American Conference and Patriot League.  Corrigan was behind the mike for what is considered to be one of the greatest basketball games in ACC history, a double overtime affair between North Carolina and Duke on March 3, 1984. The Tar Heels won the contest 96-83 in what was Michael Jordan’s final appearance in Chapel Hill.
     In the summer of 2005, Jack published his first novel, Warning Track, a book about an aging baseball player dealing with the lure and repercussions of supplement use. His second novel, 24 December, 1944, based on an incident during World War II, is scheduled to be released this year, and he is already at work on a third novel dealing with the early days of the FBI.
     A native Clevelander, Jack is a graduate of St. Ignatius High School and Cornell University, where he played football for four seasons. He also has a master’s degree in Speech from Kent State University. During the off-seasons, Jack coached football at St. Ignatius, the 10-time Ohio state champions and three-time national champs.  He is also involved with his own video company that has produced a myriad of projects for sports entities and other commercial and non-profit organizations.
     Jack and his wife, Lisa, have two children, Megan, a graduate of Mercyhurst College, who now lives in Casper, WY with her husband, John, where they are expecting the newest Rockies fan in late spring, and Mike, a Loyola Marymount University graduate, now working in Chicago for Zapwater Communications, a public relations firm.  Jack serves on the Board of Directors for Boys Hope/Girls Hope, a privately funded, non-profit, organization that helps at-risk children, and both he and Lisa are also active with Seeds of Hope, a scholarship program that benefits inner city schools.

Jerry Schemmel

In January, 2010, Jerry Schemmel was named one of the radio voices of the Colorado Rockies. He will team with Jack Corrigan, starting in the 2010 MLB season, on flagship station 850 KOA and the rest of the Rockies Radio Network. He continues as the radio voice of the Colorado State Rams, a job he began in the fall of 2009.
Schemmel was the radio voice of the Denver Nuggets for 18 years, beginning in 1992. His sportscasting career spans 25 years and includes radio and television play by play of several professional and major college sports. He also spent one year as deputy commissioner and legal counsel for the Continental Basketball Association.
On July 19, 1989, Schemmel boarded United Airlines Flight 232, originating in Denver and bound for Chicago. An in-flight engine explosion crippled the plane and forced it to crash land in Sioux City, Iowa, killing 112 of the 296 onboard.
Schemmel is the author of the book, Chosen To Live. Chosen To Live chronicles the crash of flight 232 and its subsequent effects on his life. The book has been featured in such publications as Reader’s Digest, Hoop Magazine, Sports Spectrum and Guideposts.
Schemmel has been a guest on several national television programs, including “Regis & Kathy Lee,” “48 Hours,” “CBS This Morning,” “Turning Point,” “The Today Show,” “The Hour of Power,” “Good Morning America,” and “The Oprah Winfrey Show.”
During the summers of 2003 and 2004, Schemmel rode a bicycle across the United States as a fundraiser for two Denver area charities. The efforts have raised a total of $250,000.
Schemmel spent one season (2009) as the Head Baseball Coach at Metro State College of Denver, after being a volunteer assistant at the school for two years. He also served as the radio voice of the Billings Mustangs, a minor league affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds.
Schemmel earned a law degree in 1985 from Washburn University, after receiving his undergraduate degree from the school in 1982. He also played baseball at Washburn and later was an assistant coach at the school for three years.
Schemmel grew up in Madison, SD and now resides in Littleton, CO with his wife Diane, 17-year-old daughter Maggie and 11 year old son, Ryan.




Mike Rotolo



Mike is entering his fourth season as the producer and engineer for the Rockies Radio Network.

Mike grew up in Littleton and has been an avid Rockies fan since his father pulled him out of school to attend the Rockies inaugural home opener at Mile High Stadium in 1993. Mike attended Columbine High School and was a member of the 1999 and 2000 State Championship Football teams. He graduated from Columbine in 2001. After high school Mike attended the University of Colorado at Boulder where he graduated with a degree in Communication. 

Mike has been working at KOA since 2005 and in addition to Rockies baseball he works on the University of Colorado Men's and Women's Basketball broadcasts and other KOA talk shows. When not working, Mike is a devoted fan of the Grateful Dead and music in general. Mike is also an avid snowboarder and lover of the outdoors.









Mike Rice

Mike Rice grew up in the Bay Area rooting for the San Francisco Giants, hoping that John Montefusco would somehow be able to locate his breaking ball or Will Clark would hit another game-winning home run.  He liked the Oakland A's, too, but had to side with the Giants in the 1989 Bay Bridge World Series.  He never did like the Dodgers, and that hasn't changed over the years.
 
Now, he considers himself a Rockies fan.  There's nothing quite like a summer night at the ball park, especially when that park is Coors Field.  Mike spent enough cold nights at Candlestick Park in San Francisco to know a great yard when he sees one.
 
Some of Mike's most memorable baseball moments:

*Seeing Hank Aaron, then with the Milwaukee Brewers, hit one of the last home runs of his career in a game against the A's.
 
*Interviewing the great Tony Gwynn as a cub broadcaster.

*Calling the play-by-play for many of the high school games of former Rockies pitcher Shawn Chacon.
 
Mike has always been a statistics junkie, and he enjoys keeping up with the sport in various ways.  He runs a fantasy baseball league and still finds something pretty cool about perusing the box scores over a bowl of cereal first thing in the morning. 

One of these days, he may just dig out his old baseball cards and find out if they're actually worth anything.

Douglas Niemeyer

This is Doug's seventh season as a Board Engineer at master control for the Rockies Radio Network.

Doug is a Colorado native who admits knowing very little about baseball before becoming part of the Rockies broadcast team. This experience has hooked him on the sport and he is now an avid Rockies fan. Having a degree in history from the Univeristy of Southern Colorado, Doug finds baseball to be the perfect sport combining athletic action and a rich heritage spanning three centuries.

Doug has also worked on a variety of programming at Clear Channel Colorado since 2003.
