SAN DIEGO — San Diego State, JMI Sports and iHeartMedia announced Thursday that it has filled its radio broadcast lineup for the 2024 football season. Jon Schaeffer will be the play-by-play announcer while Rich Ohrnberger will continue in the booth as color analyst.
Schaeffer has been with iHeartMedia since July 2017 and is currently the co-host of “Jon and Jim” weekdays from 3-6 p.m. PT on San Diego Sports 760, the flagship radio station of San Diego State athletics. Schaeffer has handled pregame duties for Aztec football as well as pregame, halftime and postgame duties for SDSU men’s basketball.
Schaeffer also has experience working play-by-play with the Phillies Radio Network, FOX College Sports, ESPN GamePlay, ESPN3, Mountain West Network and Big East Digital Network, and numerous schools in the northeast.
Schaeffer takes over the football play-by-play duties from longtime voice of the Aztecs, Ted Leitner, who has called SDSU football games for nearly three decades, including the past 19 seasons. Leitner will finish up his storied career by calling SDSU’s men’s basketball for his 30th and final season during the 2024-25 campaign.
Ohrnberger has been the color analyst for San Diego State football games for the past seven seasons. Ohrnberger, who played five years in the NFL, currently co-hosts the “Big Rich, TD & Fletch” weekday radio show from 6-9 a.m. PT on San Diego Sports 760. Ohrnberger also hosts “FOX Sports Saturday” and “FOX Sports Sunday,” and also is an on-air personality on NBC 7 San Diego’s “Football Night in San Diego” and “Sports Wrap.”
Ohrnberger played 39 games across five seasons in the NFL, starting eight times on the offensive line. Ohrnberger, who played two years with New England, a year with Arizona and his final two with the Chargers, was a two-time all-Big Ten selection at Penn State, earning first-team honors as a senior in 2008.
San Diego State’s first season under new head coach Sean Lewis begins Aug. 31 at Snapdragon Stadium against Texas A&M-Commerce. The Aztecs will play six of their 12 games in 2024 at Snapdragon Stadium. Seven of SDSU’s 11 FBS opponents made a bowl game a year ago.
Season tickets for the 2024 campaign start at just $200 ($175 plus $25 Aztec Club Membership), only $33.33 per game. Note that there is also Stadium Excellence Gift attached to each ticket, which is a one-time tax-deductible gift that helps offset the building costs of the state-of-art Snapdragon Stadium, and is payable over three years (interest free).
Fans are encouraged to purchase season tickets with benefits featuring interest-free payment plans, pre-sale access for most third-party events, and discounts on merchandise at the team store, additional single-game tickets and food/beverage. Additionally, season-ticket members will have the ability to purchase discounted season parking, access to a personal account representative and the ability to transfer and resell tickets digitally.
