Overview

• Schemmel was let go by KOA’s owner, iHeartMedia, in a new round of company layoffs reported Tuesday.
• It is his second layoff by the company after a January 2020 cut; he returned to the Rockies booth for the 2022 season.
• He told the Denver Post he was earning only 25% of what he made before his first layoff.
• KOA program director Dave Tepper declined to comment, and the station has not announced who will handle Rockies radio in 2026.
• The development comes as Colorado finishes a 119-loss season, one of the worst records in modern National League history.
