Randy Corley, who was inducted into the ProRodeo Hall of Fame in 2017, made his 23rd NFR appearance at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in 2023. Corley has been selected PRCA Announcer of the Year 12 times (1984, 1990-96, 1998, 2003 and 2011 and 2015). He has been an announcer at the National Finals Rodeo 23 times, including 13 of the last 13 years. Corley has been a member of the PRCA since 1980. He’s done almost every big rodeo including numerous years in San Antonio. In 2005, he and his daughter Amanda became the first father-daughter tandem to work the NFR, as an announcer and timer.

Roger Mooney

“I truly believe that this rodeo (the NFR) is the greatest rodeo on the planet, and there’s a reason for that. It’s the best cowboys, it’s in the city of entertainment, it’s the greatest fans in the world, and the most beautiful people in rodeo come to Las Vegas,” Mooney stated. He has been a professional rodeo announcer for more than 30 years. He and his wife Ashley have a son, Cash, and a daughter, Morgan. Mooney said he puts in hundreds of hours of preparation to announce at the NFR. “It’s just amazing,” he said. “The last time, I think I was going 20-21 hours a day. You get a little nap and then you’re back out. And if things don’t go well, it could be 24 hours a day.”

Andy Seiler

Andy Seiler has a degree in broadcast journalism and is a three-time College National Finals Rodeo qualifier who grew up watching the Wrangler NFR in Las Vegas. While a student at Troy (Ala.) University, he competed in amateur rodeos until 2007, the same year he joined the PRCA as an announcer. “There are a lot of people who come to a rodeo and want to feel a part of the show,”said the Ocala, Florida native.“If we can bridge the gap between the athlete and the fan, that builds a connection that keeps them coming back.” Between rodeos Seiler works as a sales manager for a regional feed company. “The biggest thrill as an announcer is when there is a story of redemption or triumph,” he said. “I love watching battles between rising stars and seasoned veterans, this being one of the few sports where careers can span three or more decades. No matter who wins, the story is one that I love to tell because it gives an opportunity to inspire both young and old.”
