Radio
The flagship radio station of the Rockies Radio Network is KOA 850 AM. Games are carried on the network in eight states. [1]
Jeff Kingery, who was with the team in the radio booth since its inaugural season in 1993, retired at the end of the 2009 season after 17 years broadcasting Rockies games.[2] Kingery is famous for his home run call, that ball's going and it ain't coming back!
Kingery's long-time partner in the booth, Jack Corrigan, assumed primary play-by-play duties after Kingery's retirement. Corrigan's signature home run call is, It's touch 'em all time!
Beginning with the 2010 season, Jerry Schemmel has partered with Corrigan, in the color commentator role (and calling middle innings while Corrigan does color). [3]
One of the two radio broadcasters will occasionally substitute for one of the television broadcasters if necessary.[4]
