Richard Fleming, broadcast partner Marcelo Balboa prepare for last three local broadcasts before Apple TV deal begins
Richard Fleming has never been a fan of the American broadcasting colloquialism “the“That’s for others to decide. It’s a label I’ve never given myself, and while I’m honored and humbled, maybe even slightly embarrassed by it, I just do a job,” the Altitude TV broadcaster told The Post.
Most of Fleming’s iconic calls came with analyst and Rapids great Marcelo Balboa by his side. No matter the team’s record, their broadcast style has made Fleming and Balboa one of the most recognizable pairs in North American soccer. The two are so aware of their quirks that even breathing patterns serve as signals for the other to pick up a line. It’s a major reason why they rarely cut across each other.
For Rapids fans, they are the sound of summer and fall. At a team event in July a teenager grabbed a photo with Fleming and told him, “I’ve grown up listening to you.” Fleming was hired by then-president Tim Hinchey two games into the 2013 season to join Balboa, who started as an analyst in 2008. The Englishman spent 16 years at the BBC, where he called two FIFA World Cups, the Olympics and other sports. At first, he thought he might be in Denver for one or two seasons, but he and his family — his wife, Nicky, two daughters, Jessica and Charlotte, and his son, James — have called Colorado home ever since.
